Philosophy 101 Suggested Resources and Links

These are some of my favorite sites!  

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy at http://www.iep.utm.edu/   Alphabetical index of commentary and explanatory remarks on a wide selection of philosophical works.  A great free resource founded by James Fieser, Ph.D., one of the authors of our main textbook.

Internet Ancient History Sourcebook at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/asbook.html  Great source of information on historical context for early philosophers and cultures up to the beginning of the medieval period, including Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, Persia, Hellenistic world, Rome, and early Christianity, .  Includes translations of actual early histories, maps, and is full of interesting information.

Internet Medieval Sourcebook
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook.html  Continuation of history through the medieval period.  Includes the end of Rome, rise of Islam, early Germans, Celtic world, Crusades, Italy, Renaissance, and more!  I suggest using the Selected Sources Index page for help getting started.

Internet Modern History Sourcebook
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/modsbook.html  This site continues through the modern era, right up to this current decade. 

CWU Writing Center  http://www.cwu.edu/~writingcenter/resources.html   A wealth of resources, including MLA citation information, individual tutoring, advice, and support for all your academic writing needs.

The Internet Classics Archive has over 400 works of classical literature, including Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, Epicurus, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Thucydides, Xenophon, Virgil, Euclid, Cicero, Pindar, Plotinus, Omar Khayyam, Confucious, and many others!

The Perseus Project at Tufts University is a wonderful resource with a rich variety of sources.

The Hellenistic World on the Web provides over 200 links to resources about the Hellenistic world.
