Finding Companions to Philosophy
If you are trying to find companions to philosophy, there are two major series:
- Cambridge companions to philosophy
- Blackwell companions to philosophy
You could do a title search in the library catalog to browse ALL the philosophy companions that we own. However, I would suggest doing a search for the companion series and the name of the philosopher you desire. Example:
- Cambridge companion AND Descartes
If you don't find what you want when searching the EWU Libraries catalog, then you can try searching the Summit catalog and order it from another university library. The philosophy department also has a good amount of resources in their library, so you can also check with your department.
Here is another useful work: the Oxford Companion to Philosophy. 2005. Edited by Ted Honderich. JFK Library: Reference (Non-Circulating) B51 .O94 2005. An online version is also available.

The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Philosophy by ISBN: 0521822424Publication Date: 2006-10-12The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Philosophy is a comprehensive introduction to the central topics and changing shape of philosophical inquiry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It explores one of the most innovative periods in the history of Western philosophy, extending from Montaigne, Bacon and Descartes through Hume and Kant. During this period, philosophers initiated and responded to major intellectual developments in natural science, religion, and politics, transforming in the process concepts and doctrines inherited from ancient and medieval philosophy. In this Companion, leading specialists examine early modern treatments of the methodological and conceptual foundations of natural science, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, logic and language, moral and political philosophy, and theology. A final chapter looks forward to the philosophy of the Enlightenment. This will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in the philosophical thought of the early modern period.

The Cambridge Companion to Philosophical Methodology by ISBN: 9781107121522Publication Date: 2017-02-16The Cambridge Companion to Philosophical Methodology offers clear and comprehensive coverage of the main methodological debates and approaches within philosophy. The chapters in this volume approach the question of how to do philosophy from a wide range of perspectives, including conceptual analysis, critical theory, deconstruction, experimental philosophy, hermeneutics, Kantianism, methodological naturalism, phenomenology, and pragmatism. They explore general conceptions of philosophy, centred on the question of what the point of philosophising might be; the method of conceptual analysis and its recent naturalistic critics and competitors; perspectives from continental philosophy; and also a variety of methodological views that belong neither to the mainstream of analytic philosophy, nor to continental philosophy as commonly conceived. Together they will enable readers to grasp an unusually wide range of approaches to methodological debates in philosophy.
