This new resource has the right sort of pedigree (Stanford and Oxford) to get instant authority, though to my own reading it's a bit idiosyncratic and narrowly focused. Take the article on Theory of Mind, for example, which makes no real attempt to place the concept into a wider concept and instead immediately defines it in folk psychological terms: "how mental states like beliefs, desires, and intentions shape our own and others' actions." It runs the gamut of concepts from autism to virtual reality to eugenics.
