Philosophy & Ethics
Google Books
Search the full-text of books. You won't be able to view more than a couple pages of most of the books due to copyright restrictions, but if you discover books you need in Google Books, you can then find or request those books from the Shapiro Library Catalog or Interlibrary Loan. Google Books is a great place to discover primary resources.

Books are arranged on the shelves in the library by subject. We use the Library of Congress' Classification System to assign call numbers to our materials so that materials on similar topics are next to each other on the shelves and patrons and staff can easily find what they need. You need to know a book's call number in order to get it off the shelf in the library.
Below are some helpful call number ranges for history and related disciplines:
| Call Number Range | Subject |
|---|---|
| B | Philosophy (General) |
| BC | Logic |
| BD | Speculative philosophy |
| BH | Aesthetics |
| BJ | Ethics |
| BL | Religions, mythology, rationalism |
| BM | Judaism |
| BP | Islam |
| BQ | Buddhism |
| BR | Christianity |
| BS | The Bible |
