List of pointers that generally cover a few of the topics I find to be of interest. (Including, here, where I did my graduate work.)

• Philosophy

  • Philosophy around the Web An extensive list of resources in philosophy and pointers to pages of currently-active philosophers. It includes pointers to academic departments in philosophy, religion, and other subjects and to online sources of classic texts, biographies, bibliographies, and other reference materials. Compiled by Peter J. King at St. Hilda's College, Oxford - his own work is included, as well.
    
  • IPL Philosophy The Internet Public Library's "Philosophy Ready Reference". There are pointers to three general guides to materials ranging from a list of philosophy and religion materials, loosely collected under the heading of "American Studies", to the Philosophy and Ethics section of Dian Kovacs' Directory of Scholarly Electronic Conferences -- a list of on-line discussion groups -- and to gopher-based materials.
    
  • The WWW Virtual Library: Philosophy
    Pointers to archives and bibliographies.
  • The World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Philosophy
    Pointers to places that point to Philosophy materials. This is different from the entry just above.
  • Voice of the Shuttle: Philosophy Page
    Pointers to many philosophy-oriented and philosophy and literature-oriented sites. Also points to online archives of historical and contemporary works in Philosophy at MIT.
  • The Apology
    Kent Anderson and Norm Freund of the Philosophy Department at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa have prepared a hypertext version of "The Apology" for students taking their first course in philosophy.
  • Philosophy Page
    A searchable archive of major works in Philosophy that are online at the University of Idaho.
  • International Philosophical Preprint Exchange
    An experiment in advance publication of philosophical papers. Sponsored and supported by the Department of Philosophy at Chiba University in Japan.
  • University of Chicago Philosophy Project
    Online discussions of works and philosophical topics. The areas of discussion include the "Language of Thought Hypothesis", "Saul Kripke's Naming and Necessity", and "Nelson Goodman's theory of metaphor in Language of Art". Each of the discussion areas proceeds a little differently, some as a series of commentary papers, others as a combination of commentary papers and discussion. The outline of the discussion of counterfactuals, for example, could be used as a syllabus for a seminar.
  • Yahoo:Philosophy
    Pointers to Philosophy sites from the famous Yahoo.
  • Stephen's Guide to the Logical Fallacies
    A basic introduction to logical fallacies composed as a set of short, similarly formatted descriptions. This site also includes an annotated bibliography of basic and advanced materials on logic.
  • The Ultimate Philosophy Page
    Pointers to a very large list of philosphy-related sites. Not only the usual stuff -- philosophical classics on-line, discussion groups, college and university departments, and research projects -- but a nice list of "isms". Also very much worth a look is his list of "Real-Life Philosophers!!" -- Philosophy can be very broad sometimes.
  • Valdosta Philosophy Department Home Page
  • Some work of C(harles) S(anders) Peirce is presented in hypertext format. This site also has pointers to other materials on Peirce or on Peirce and John Dewey.
    
  • The journal CTHEORY includes short articles and reviews of books on theory, technology and culture. It is sponsored by the Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory
  • Philosophy Webliography
    Links to online journals and commentary on philosophical topics. Also telnet links to online catalogs. Note: Your browser should have a telnet helper configured; in some cases, the destination site requires tn3270 access (read "old, big, IBM kind of thing").
  • Contemporary Philosophy of Mind: An Annotated Bibliography
    A collection of bibliographies done by David Chalmers covering over 3600 articles and books on the theory of mind, artificial intelligence, cognition, consciousness, and computational intelligence. The top-level divides the collection into six major areas. Each area is further sub-divided twice more. Many of the earlier citations are annotated while the later ones mostly are not. Dr. Chalmers has kept up this bibliography over a number of years as he has moved from Illinois, to Washington University, and now to UC, Santa Cruz.

    Some of the material is also available via ftp from Washington University. Documents are available in text or PostScript form. The ftp connection is to a directory of file(s) from which you can select. The Chalmers bibliographies have file names beginning with "chalmers.". Note, also, that Washington University's servers are often under heavy demand, so response may be slow. (4Oct97)

  • The Dilbert Zone
  
  

• AI-related

  • Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
    The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research publishes articles covering most areas of research in artificial intelligence. It was founded in 1993 and is sponsored by several institutions, including the University of Washington, Carnegie-Mellon University, the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute, the University of Genoa, and NASA's Ames Research Center. There are two volumes per year, both of which are published electronically and in hard-copy; the hard-copy version is published by Morgan Kaufman. The on-line versions of the articles are in PostScript format, the abstracts in HTML: Some of the articles are available in both HTML and PostScript. The journal also includes a feedback/dialogue option called "Ask the Author". JAIR is indexed in Science Citation Index.
    
    
  • Computational Epistemology Lab Home Page
    Located at the University of Waterloo, in Canada. Most of the material currently available is about work by Paul Thagard. They indicate interest in analogical reasoning and computational philosophy of science.
  • The World Wide Web Virtual Library: Artificial Intelligence
  • Artificial Intelligence Resources
    A list of pointers to several sites with material on artificial intelligence. This page put together by the Institute for Information Technology, part of the National Research Council Canada.
  • Artificial Life Online
    Related enough: a lot of people from AI, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and automata theory migrate through here, anyway.
  • Artificial Intelligence Subject Index
  • The Association of Lisp Users -- Home Page
    Good, old-fashioned AI, at least, would not be complete without a handy archive of Lisp.
  • CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository
    Archive of Lisp at Carnegie Mellon. Includes source code, FAQs, and an HTML version of the second edition of Steele's Common Lisp. Maintained by Mark Kantrowitz.
  • Prolog Archive at Oxford
    Masochists might want to amuse themselves by using Prolog.
  
  

• Some computer science sites for tech reports

  • Cornell CS department
    Indexes technical reports from Cornell, MIT, UC-Berkeley, and CalTech. Searchable index of documents from 14 schools; the search extends to document contents and can retrieve items down to the paragraph level. The documents contents are available as scanned images presented as GIF files. Online viewing can be slow as the full documents are sent one page (GIF) at a time.
  • Unified Computer Science Technical Report Index
    By Marc VanHeyningen at Indiana. Currently indexes over 18,000 documents at 185 sites. String search, with some stemming capability: no boolean operators.
  • Computer Science bibliography Glimpse server
    This site at the University of Arizona mirrors Alf-Christian Achilles' original site at Karlsruhe in Germany. As of mid-August, this site indexed 380,000 references in 640 bibliographies. Documents are also accessible through a classification scheme of 14 broad categories ranging from "artificial intelligence" to "typesetting". The last update on this database seems to have been about a year ago: In my initial browsing, I found no document newer than 1990.
  • On-line Computer Science Technical Reports
    A list of pointers to 260 sites in various countries, ranging from private companies and research labs to college and university departments. This is a directory with sites listed either alphabetically or by geographic location; there is no topical index or search engine.
