Continental Philosophy : A Research Guide
This guide is designed to assist students with
their term papers. It is meant to provide a holistic approach to
philosophy research. It accomplishes this by explaining both how
sources can be used to facilitate creativity in choosing a paper
topic and how to complete research once a thesis is determined.
TIP: Check availability of a book or a journal's years of coverage
by highlighting and copying the title and clicking the link to the
catalog. Paste the title (without initial a, an, or the) and choose
"title" from the drop-down box.
