International Philosophical Bibliography

Bibliographic searches in IPB

IPB’s extensive search capabilities

● Establish an author’s bibliography
example: the bibliography of Belgian philosopher Jean Ladrière (1921-2007)
Combined searches of several indexes enable the identification – separately or together – of the primary and secondary literature, and books, articles and other texts listed in each of these categories.


● Bibliographical searches on a particular theme in an author’s work
example: death in Plato or, more precisely, in Plato’s Phaedo

● List the translations of an author in a particular language
example: Italian translations of Descartes

● Searches relating to the philosophy of a precise period or field
example: search general studies related to African philosophy
