Encyclopedia of Concise Concepts by Women Philosophers

The Encyclopedia of Concise Concepts by Women Philosophers (ECC) is an online encyclopedia that exclusively contains entries on concepts from the work of female philosophers.

The ECC is an open access database developed by the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists that went online on June 15, 2018.[2]

Each entry is written by an internationally recognized researcher and peer-reviewed before publication.[3] It will contain a brief explanation of a philosophical concept both either developed or significantly advanced by a woman philosopher as well as a list of primary and secondary sources for further research. Early articles focused on thinkers such as Diotima of Mantinea, Mercy Otis Warren and Jane Addams.[4]

The encyclopedia is part of the digital collection of Paderborn University and articles are available as official academic sources.[5]

It was created by the German philosopher Ruth Hagengruber and Mary Ellen Waithe of Cleveland State University.[6]

The ECC received the DARIAH-DE DH-Award 2018, (“Tools and Projects” section), for exceptional work in digital humanities.[7]
