PHILOSOPHY LINKS
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
This is the most reliable encyclopedia-style resource you can find for philosophy. It's an excellent tool to find out more about philosophers and philosophical concepts or theories. It is not to be used as a primary source in papers, but it may be referenced in small ways, such as clearing up a definition.
Philosophical Terms and Methods
This is a site written by Jim Pryor, a philosophy professor at NYU. His overview of several different core concepts in philosophy is a useful resource if you're taking your first (or second, or third) philosophy course.
