For Starters
- Guide to Philosophy on the Internet
Peter Suber's [Earlham College] comprehensive guide to resources available in various categories, including jobs, teaching/learning, quotations, and preprints. While the guide is comprehensive, it will never by complete, which Suber believes is unattainable. The statement about what is omitted from the Guide is a nice bonus. - Voice of the Shuttle: Philosophy
