What is "EHP"?

The Encyclopedia of Hungarian Philosophy (EHP) refers to the academic project to create the encyclopedic overview of the history and present of Hungarian philosophy.

By “Hungarian philosophy” the editors understand not only philosophical endeavors reaching back to the early middle ages and composed first in Latin, later in Hungarian and German, but the much wider context which is connected to various dimensions of Central-European culture with relevance to Hungarian philosophy. One of the important characteristics of EHP is the covering of the philosophical aspects of various cultural fields, such as music, fine arts, and literature. This systemic feature of EHP is based on its peculiar philosophical character.
