A PhilReviews search: every review of the book, grouped and linked to its source.

PhilReviews began with a simple frustration: there was no way to find out what reviewers had said about a philosophy book without checking a dozen journals one by one. Book reviews are where philosophers actually argue with each other about new work — but they are the least discoverable genre in the discipline. PhilReviews solves that problem. If you want to know what philosophers have said about a book, regardless of whether it was published last month or in 1911, PhilReviews will find every review of it in one place, grouped by book and linked to the original source.

  • Comprehensive journals — from Mind to specialist & non-English titles, updated weekly.
  • Beyond the academy — the LRB, the Guardian, the NYT, and the German & French press.
