Audio Philosophy
Much of the philosophy we encounter or
are affected by is "disguised" as something else. This is
nowhere more true than in political philosophy and ethics. Thus, I am
including on my site a collection of recordings of great speeches,
interesting debates, and
supreme court arguments (with decisions).

Where does one find secondary material on philosophers? How does one unify all of the complex details into one unified and coherent summary of a philosophy. These sites will help you with both of these problems. They provide search engines (especially Hippias) to help locate material, and they provide secondary materials (especially the Meta-Encyclopedia) that will help summarize the main points of each philosopher. Win-magic's timeline is a nice tool that helps us understand when philosophers lived, who they followed, and who they might have known.

Individual Philosophers
(and schools of thought)
These sites provide more detailed discussion of particular
philosophers. They offer essays and links to add to your more sophisticated understanding
of the philosopher. This list will increase as I find more sites that I fell are useful.
Keep in mind, some of these sites are designed by professional philosophers and some are
designed by "amateurs". It is often difficult to locate the quality within the
quantity. Don't believe everything you read everywhere. Part of the difficulty inherent in
any philosophical project is sorting out the truth.

A wonderful clip you should all watch:
Jon Stewart on Crossfire.
This is, in essence, a debate about what it means to debate and the role
of the media in elections. Its also pretty funny. It should be of
particular interest to students in Introduction to Logic, but everyone
should watch it.

My Bio
"The preserved remains of Jeremy Bentham, Enlightenment Philosopher and key figure of the Utilitarian school, are displayed in a glass case in the South Cloister at University College, London, the university which he founded in 1826... Bentham's will specified that, on his death, he was to be dissected in the presence of his friends, and subsequently his remains were to be preserved and kept on the college grounds at all times, and, once a year, were to be present at meetings of the board of university governers."-Paul Dourish (click here for more)
