The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (in development) Each entry is submitted to one editor by volunteers. Its quality, therefore, is likely to be uneven. It has entries for most items, but these are mere sketches until longer entries are forthcoming. |
Glossary of Philosophical Terms (from the Blackwell Companion to Philosophy) Ever wonder what a posteriori means? This brief glossary may get you over the roughest spots, but don't rely on it for anything more than a quick definition. |
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (in development) Each section (e.g., political philosophy) will eventually have its own editor and the articles will be carefully vetted. Where no entry has been received there is no sketch of an entry. |
Now that the Britannica is online, it provides a good source for general articles on philosophy. What is even better, it provides a list of its own internet searches for articles on the topic you looked up. Worth a try. It also has a dictionary. |

Noesis: A Philosophical Search Engine The Internet Applications Laboratory at the University of Evansville would like to announce the beta release of a new search engine dedicated to philosophy on the Internet. Designed by the makers of Argos, an ancient and medieval search engine, and Hippias, another philosophy search engine, Noesis employees new search routines that allow users to approach data from a variety of perspectives. In addition to a search engine, Noesis includes a browsable index,broken down into a separate author index and a collections index. They are planning on adding a topical index over time that will allow users to browse and search files according to their pertinence to the various areas of study recognized by professional philosophers. |
Hippias Philosophy Search Engine This outstanding search engine is limited to philosophy. It is a fine "source of sources." |
