PHILOSOPHY RESOURCES

If you think that you can't learn philosophy without sitting in a college classroom, think again. The Internet is filled with some amazing resources for both students in traditional philosophy classes and those who just want to learn about philosophy for the heck of it.  Naturally, these resources vary in quality as well as complexity. It's also the case that many philosophy sites, even those connected to universities, come and go. For these reasons, we've limited ourselves to what we think are the best and most reliable philosophy sites on the web.
