Resources
For Students
So you want to study philosophy?
Here are some resources I've compiled over time to pass on to students who want to keep learning about philosophy on their own.
Where to get started:
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy - The SEP has high-quality articles written by experts in the field.
Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - The IEP is a peer-reviewed internet resource.
I do not recommend the philosophy articles on Wikipedia.
Databases and directories:
PhilPapers - An index and bibliography of philosophy.
Philosophers' Index - Database of philosophy articles.
JSTOR - General journal article database.
Writing help:
Jim Pryor's Guide to Writing Philosophy
Jim Pryor's Philosophical Terms and Methods - Philosophy glossary for beginners.
I also recommend the classic Elements of Style by Strunk and White.
Philosophy web links:
Here are some websites and links that may be of interest to students who are looking for news, literature, or entertainment related to philosophy:
