		Like the encyclopedias of the other republics, the general articles of the Tajik Soviet Encyclopedia are based on the third edition of the Bol'shaya Sovetskaya Entsiklopedia (Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 30 vols., Moscow, 1969-78).

		For example, while in the first edition the philosopher William James is described respectfully and pragmatism is criticized, in the second edition he is characterized as "an American reactionary philosopher and psychologist, ideologue of the imperialist bourgeoisie...."
