"Isolating a political part within each single system of thought is

their speculative questions."

Some of the sites hold downloadable works, while other include articles, commentary and further links on the philosopher in question.

What is Reality?.net A site with 'attitude'. This site strikes a nice balance, achieving a 'light' tone (you'll see what I mean when you visit it) while providing some good general essays on aspects of philosophical discourse, and a multitude of thought-provoking philosophical quotations. Worth a visit for those who think that 'serious' philosophers have to be uniformly 'serious' in every sense of the word. The only downside is, the graphics can be slow to load up, especially for those of us still suffering from primitive communication technology.
