Enciclopedias y diccionarios en el Proyecto Filosofía en español Las Enciclopedias, los Diccionarios enciclopédicos, los Diccionarios y otras obras asimilables a estos géneros, ofrecen información positiva sobre los asuntos que tratan (con más o menos errores o inexactitudes) pero además representan también una fotografía fija de la posición que mantuvo el autor del artículo, aceptada en esos años por el entorno ideológico en el que fue publicada. La persistencia en el tiempo que alcanzan este tipo de obras (para bien o para mal) obliga, sea cual sea el valor que se les atribuya, a tenerlas en cuenta, no sólo como testimonio histórico, sociológico o meramente literario, sino también para poder apreciar la influencia que puedan haber tenido. Ofrecemos una información general de cada obra considerada, la exacta y fiel versión de los artículos que interesan desde nuestra perspectiva y, en su caso, enlaces a los comentarios críticos que se han elaborado y publicado.
