Philosopedia is a reference work about academic philosophy.

Philosopedia encourages down-to-earth, easy readable, material not often found in stodgy sources.

As a starter, as many as 10,000 listings from Warren Allen Smith's 1,237-page book about freethinkers and freethought, Who's Who in Hell, are included. They are brief biographies that, unlike what is found in most reference works, include homely information about philosophers' failures as well as successes starting as far back as Sargon of Akkad in the 24th Century B. C. E. - a freethinker of sorts - and including individuals in the 21st century who are interested in philosophy or are now or have been employed as philosophers. Entries may include photos and sound recordings.
