Philosophy Links
 

I was just thinking it would be a good idea to post links to other philosophy sites, maybe the Url, a brief description, and your own personal opinions on it. No mega posts, just some quality stuff with which to pick our brains. I apologise in advance for not having one to start off with.

I don't have one eaither but, should we just do one at a time and discuss it then perhaps move to the next one?

http://www.philosophersnet.com/

I posted this one here a while back, but it's probably fallen off the end of the board by now. The games section is good fun.

http://www.booktalk.org

A freethinkers/atheist/agnostic/whatever book discussion community. Every two months we vote on and choose a book to read and discuss. At the end of the period we often invite the book's author to come and appear in a chat session with us.
There are also other sections of the forum, unrelated to any particular book, where we discuss science, philiosophy, religion, politics and other such topics.

The Fallacy Files

A very useful site which indexes dozens of logical fallacies. It gives an explaination of each one, gives an example in an obvious and simple context, and often includes real examples.
Very helpful reading. Having a good understanding of what constitutes a good or bad argument is an absolutely vital skill and I think it is very unfortunate that it is not taught to school children as part of their education (at least in Ireland it is not).

Butterflies And Wheels.com/

A website devoted to reason and rationality, set up in opposition to pseudo-science, relativism, the abuse of science, and other such fashionable nonsense. Plenty of interesting things here; regularly updated links to interesting news stories, articles, book reviews etc.
There is a section updated fortnightly by philosopher Julian Baggini, examining poor argumentative skills. There is a blog which examines woolly thinking appearing in the media.
There is also a top notch Fashionable Dictionary. :lol:

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Two good online philosophy encyclopedias both with quite detailed and well written articles. Very useful.

And of course:
Wikipedia
Not specifically philosophy oriented - but an invaluable resource for any topic you may be interested in.

For less serious philosophy sites, try these two:

and, just so I can plug my own site :D:

TalkOrigins.org
Quite a large site full of information with regards to the Evolution/Creationism controversy. There are many well written and informative articles available here. The only problem is that due to the size of the site, it can be a bit daunting at first.
Especially interesting is the Index to Creationist Claims which takes hundreds of creationist claims and one by one refutes them all.

I often get points to consider from this site

http://www.thinkarete.com/

It also has a large selection of quotes from many philosophers and many schools of thought.
