The
Philosophical Dictionary is a hypertext of alphabetically arranged terms and
ideas in English or Dutch that relate to philosophy. The entries state what I thought when I wrote them
and are dated at the end. There are many links and many
interrelations, and to understand all of it you must at least have read all of
it. Also, to understand all of it may require some knowledge of philosophy and
logic, such as can be acquired by reading some books listed in
Literature.
There is a little more background in the following sections:
Here are three files with keyterms in the Dictionary; with categories
by which the terms are classified; and with all terms in the dictionary so
far:
As soon as there will be CD-s available with the Philosophical Dictionary I
will say so.
I wish you pleasant and
instructive reading!
There was a simple quotation-server available that serves - at present - 500
quotations randomly, 1 at the time, that was called WoW (Words of Wisdom). I
have removed it because it contained a programming error, that is not serious
and does no harm, but shouldn't be in a released program. (It doesn't handle its
stack properly.)
Therefore I have removed it from the site, and
my advice is to remove it from your computer, and to wait for a later repaired
version if you liked it. All the quotations served by WoW came from
Quotations.
NB: For the moment, the
Philosophical Dictionary is a little over three years young, and contains
some 560 entries, that also
are not fully done. This is expected to be a large work, of years to come.
At present it is an ongoing project of some 10 MB, that will start to be more
or less as I
want it to be when it is thrice as large, I expect.
Therefore, the
reader may be sure that for the time being all entries into the
Philosophical Dictionary will be soon revised or updated (for example: provided with
new links). Also, all entries that have been made can be expected to be
extended, sometimes by a lot of material.
So for the moment, one thing is certain: All the material in it for the
time being is transient, changeable, and to be extended and corrected, if and
when I have the health for it.
