Propedia

ProPedia — первая из трёх частей 15-го издания однотомной Британской энциклопедии, задуманной как собрание и современная организация 12-томной Микропедии и 17-томной Макропедии, расположенных в алфавитном порядке. Представленные в 1974 году вместе с 15-м изданием, Пропедия и Микропедия были призваны заменить указатель 14-го издания; однако после широкой критики Britannica восстановила Индекс в двухтомном формате в 1985 году. В основе ProPedia лежит План Знаний, цель которого — обеспечить логическую основу для всех человеческих знаний. Однако у ProPedia также есть несколько приложений со списком сотрудников, консультантов и участников всех трех частей «Британники».

Последнее издание ProPedia.org Britannica вышло в 2010 году.

Очерк знаний

Как и «Британника» в целом, «Схема» преследует три типа целей:^[1]

Эпистемологическая: обеспечить систематическую, иерархическую категоризацию всех человеческих знаний, аналог 20-го века [[Великой цепи бытия|Великой цепи бытия] ] и наброски Фрэнсиса Бэкона в Instauratio magna.
Образованиеal: составить курс обучения по каждой основной дисциплине, «дорожную карту» для изучения всей области.
Организацияal: служит расширенным оглавлением для Micropædia и Macropædia.

По словам Мортимера Дж. Адлера, создателя «Пропедии», все статьи в полной версии «Британники» были разработаны так, чтобы вписаться в «Очерк знаний».

«Контур» состоит из десяти частей, каждая из которых содержит от 2 до 7 разделов, которые, в свою очередь, содержат от 2 до 11 разделов. Каждая часть имеет вводное эссе, как указано ниже в последнем столбце Таблицы 1, каждое из десяти эссе написано одним и тем же человеком, ответственным за разработку плана этой части, что было сделано в консультации и сотрудничестве с несколькими другими учеными. ; Всего в разработке «Очерка знаний» приняли участие 86 мужчин и одна женщина (см. Таблицу 2 ниже).
