| Feb 2, 2013 at 9:48 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | @dennis: I'm not at all writing off the IEP, I'm sorry if that is how it came across! I simply meant that its prose is less redolent of academic discourse, it reads like they're writing towards the interested everyman. I've enjoyed reading what article I've read there. | |

| Feb 2, 2013 at 5:26 | comment | added | Dennis | @MoziburUllah While what you say is mostly true, I wouldn't be so quick to write off the IEP. It is certainly in a more infantile state than the SEP but I know many experts who have been commissioned to write IEP articles (including one of my professors). Thus, I think the description of the IEP as "less academic" might be misleading. Perhaps, though, this is true of individual articles. The SEP, however, is guilty of this as well. There was a rather big controversy surrounding its entry on Ayn Rand earlier this year. | |

| Jan 29, 2013 at 3:16 | comment | added | stoicfury | SEP probably wouldn't cut it, in terms of what the OP seems to be looking for. It's excellent as a resource, no doubt, but tends to focus on narrow issues rather than broad overviews. It'd be like a dictionary with only the hard words... | |

| Jan 28, 2013 at 20:22 | comment | added | Dennis | Would the introduction paragraphs to SEP articles be what you're after? Check out the Bertrand Russell entry and tell me what you do and don't like about it. I'm not sure what you're after, exactly, so this should help clarify. | |
