- Prospective graduate students in philosophy who are wondering which graduate programs to apply to should definitely check out Brian Leiter’s Philosophical Gourmet Report.
- Here are a couple of great philosophy resources on free sites that are accessible to all: the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and Richard Heck’s searchable index of on-line philosophy papers, Ph Online.
- And here are some very useful philosophy sites, which, unfortunately, cannot be accessed by everyone, but should be available to Yalies, since Yale subscribes to these services (and many others who get their internet access through their college or university will find that their school subscribes): JSTOR, Ingenta, the Philosopher’s Index (old version), Past Masters / Poiesis, and the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
- The best links to philosophy departments, philosophical journals, publishers of philosophy, philosophers, etc., that I know of are to be found at Episteme Links.
- Correction: The best set of links to philosophy departments — at least to departments in the U.S. — that I know of is now the site I maintain; click here. (In the PhD section, this list now also includes many of the best non-U.S. philosophy departments in the English-speaking world that have graduate programs.)
- If for some strange reason you don’t want a college or university’s philosophy department, but instead want to go to the school’s main page, try Mike Conlon’s list for U.S. schools, or Michael Viron’s list for international institutions.
- The Christian Classics Ethereal Library is a terrific source of on-line Christian literature — hundreds of well-chosen books, classic hymns, reference works, etc.
- Fans of great music will want to visit BobDylan.com.
- Political junkies might enjoy PollingReport.com and/or Rasmussen Reports.
- Here are a couple of philosophical organizations that I belong to: the Society of Christian Philosophers and the American Philosophical Association.
- Recommended Non-Philosophy Reading (free on-line): “Bystanders to Genocide”, by Samantha Power.
- If you like that, try Power’s book: A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide.
- For those new to Yale and New Haven and looking for a church to attend, I recommend trying this Episcopal church and this Presbyterian church.
