Looking for philosophy recommendations

As I'm reading Reformed Dogmatics by Herman Bavinck, I keep finding myself either grabbing for my dictionary of philosophy or wishing I had it close at hand. I'd prefer something in Logos that would serve as a reference, but I'm not aware of resources that would help me.

Are there resources in Logos that can serve:

1. As a good reference for Philosophy - dictionary, etc.

2. As good introductions to philosophy, something along the lines of Russell's History of Western Philosophy.

Any recommendations?

Do you have IVP's New Dictionary of Theology? It has entries for both theological and philosophical terms and individuals.

Here's an article from it on Immanuel Kant. Note the links in blue to other philosophical topics covered by the dictionary:

In Logos there isn't much like what you want. Along the lines of the second request you might look at Norman Geisler, Introduction to Philosophy: A Christian Perspective which I believe is not available on its own, but is included in this collection: http://www.logos.com/products/details/1756

We could use some more Logos resources dealing with philosophy. Many threads on this in the past. Here's one: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/8695/69327.aspx#69327

I take it back. Most of those links in the Kant article of those links go to the Pocket Dictionary of Apologetics & Philosophy of Religion, also by IVP.

That looks like it could be helpful, though it wouldn't get into as much as I would like. Am I seeing right that it's only available in the Essential IVP Reference Collection?

But... it's... Geisler!

And also included in the IVP Essential Reference collection, so if I got one I'd have the other.

Check out the talk about the The Essential IVP Reference Collection 3.0 on this thread: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/21274/159474.aspx#159474

If you don't already have it, it is a great add-on.

Only in the collection. But what a collection. I'm surprised you haven't considered it (the collection) yet. (Hint: shop around for IVP products)

And Paul Feinberg. That's gotta be worth something.
