Welcome to the Sophia Project

Founded in 1999 by college educators, the Sophia Project is an online collection of original articles, primary source texts, and commentaries in the fields of philosophy and ethics designed to provide the newcomer to the discipline of philosophy with the resources necessary to read great philosophical works.  We believe that with the proper guidance almost any intelligent person can begin a life-long reading program in philosophy...and perhaps even become a bit wiser in the process.

Welcome to the Sophia Project and enjoy your pursuit of wisdom!

Please pardon us while we update our site . . . 

When we started this site almost twenty years ago, nobody used a cell phone to look up information. Today, apparently, everyone does. Much to our dismay, we realized that what looks perfectly fine on a computer or tablet, looks like gibberish on a cell phone. 

We're in the process of updating our site so that it's reliable on every possible platform. We hope to have this work completed by early 2019.  Thanks for your patience!

If you have any questions, comments, or even complaints about what we're doing on this site, feel free to contact us. We'd really love to hear what you think.
