Library of Congress Subject Headings in Philosophy
A Thesaurus for Information Professionals
Barbara L. Berman, Editor
This thesaurus has been compiled for use by librarians, researchers, and information professionals to facilitate the application of standard subject descriptors to print and electronic resources in philosophy. Compiled from the list of subject headings published by the Library of Congress (LCSH), this thesaurus provides a structured presentation of the main philosophical terms in the LC system, with cross references to broader, narrower, and related terms. It includes an extensive listing of ethnic, national, and religious philosophies. A special preface by Prof. John Shook is included for philosophers.
This thesaurus will be useful for developers of citation databases and other online resources that require appropriate subject descriptors for philosophy articles, monographs, articles, dissertations, or other publications. This thesaurus is also available in XML format. Contact us for more information.
