Guide to Philosophy on the Internet



Peter Suber, Philosophy Department, Earlham College




  • This the single-file edition of the guide. It is large and loads slowly, but once loaded is easy to browse and search.
  • The guide is also available in a multiple-file edition, whose sections load more quickly. Details


Welcome to my collection of online philosophy resources.

If you are stuck in a frame, click here to escape.

If you are a frequent visitor, press reload or refresh on occasion to be sure that you are viewing the most recent version of the page, not the version cached on your hard drive from your last visit.

I've marked recommended sites with a red star . Generally the starred sites are those I've found especially helpful for shortening the search for what one wants, as opposed to outstanding sites in themselves for which one ought to search. One day I may rate both.

When the whole file loads, use the search command on your browser to find items by keyword.

To register to receive an email announcement whenever this page is revised, see the bottom of this file.

If speed is a problem, try one of the mirror sites in Germany (München, single-file version) or Italy (Bari, single-file version), or Italy (Bari, multi-file version). The original is in Richmond, Indiana, U.S.A.

About this guide. Submitting a URL, scope, plans, notes, FAQ, awards. Also see my policy on dead links.

I welcome URLs for inclusion, notice of broken links, and suggestions and comments of all kinds.

If you're interested in guides like this to disciplines other than philosophy, see my list of lists of them.

To catch users who type the incorrect URL, I have set up several aliases at my server. If you type /peters/ (rather than /~peters/) or /suber/ (rather than /~peters/), or html (rather than htm), then an alias will automatically redirect you to this page. But these URLs are incorrect and I cannot promise that the aliases correcting them will be supported forever. Please make sure that the link or bookmark that got you here has the correct URL:

http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/philinks.htm

If you link directly to one of my sections (such as Associations or Journals), and if you use one of the aliases rather than the correct URL above, then you will be sent to the top of the page, not to the right section. For faster loading as well as proper targeting, direct links to my sections should point to the sections of the multi-file edition of the guide, not to this single-file edition.

General Guides to Philosophy on the Internet



Why list more than one, especially unstarred guides when there are so many starred ones? Because this year A may be better than B, but next year B may be better or A may not exist.
