Internet Encyclopia of Philosophy (IEP) is very good in my opinion.
Henry Turner
have only ever fucked with SEP, has anyone ever read articles for same thing in both and preferred IEP? what are the typical differences
Lucas Hill
I never used SEP, but I used IEP for my classes on philosophy of the law when I was in law college and my teacher seemed to dont mind.
That said, my country has shit uni's, so if you are in first world countrys, using IEP may not be as okay as in my country.
Ayden Price
The are both good resources. The share the same problem, though, the endogamic academy. They only quote recent studies and they have a very narrow point of view, but kind of undisputed points, so it's reliable.
Parker Mitchell
IEP tends to be less rigorous, but unlike SEP it covers topics which are outside the sphere of analytic philosophy. There are poor articles on both, however, it really depends on the academic.
Cameron Sanders
Fair point. Tho if you are writting academicaly, Academy likes sources they find thurstworth, and in general, IEP seemed to be a very in deeph source in several fields of philosophy.
Logan Roberts
i email SEP once in a while if something is terrible, theyre pretty responsive
Isaac Bennett
You must be fun at parties.
Jonathan Ross
I would definitely party with him.
I bet he takes bites off of blotter sheets and continually rotates between whippets and hash bowls. Dude just sets there with his mouth open.
Charles Price
SEP has a bunch of non-analytic stuff too

Brayden Cruz
Iep is awful
Logan Cox
If I don't find a thinker or topic on SEP I look for him in the IEP. Some articles on IEP I've found easier, but it depends entirely on who's writing them.
Acquainting yourself with the history of philosophy is better than randomly jumping from encyclopedia article to another as per the Wikipedia® School of Pedagogy™. Histories of philosophy have been written by Magee, Durant, Kenny as shorter works, and Copleston as a sizable 11-volume one.
Magee also has an '87 TV series on the history of philosophy, The Great Philosophers, where he interviewed scholars and philosophers that are of relevance in the current year, I wish the stuff he and Putnam talked about was common knowledge among 21st century folks:

Rick Roderick is a very good lecturer with a historical series on human values (i.e. a short course on ethics from Socrates to postmodernity), one on Nietzsche alone and one on Continental philosophy from Heidegger onwards: rickroderick.org
Gregory B. Sadler is another good lecturer that specializes on ethics, Stoics, Aristotle, Cicero, etc. and continental philosophy, including his endless Half Hour Hegel series: youtube.com

I usually go to see if there's an aphorism in orgy of the will about whatever I'm looking for
Angel Phillips
I don't even bother reading primary texts anymore, SEP and Wikipedia is all I use .
Gabriel Rodriguez
SEP and IEP are the only online resources that I used more than just a few times. However their articles are written from more or less an analytical or Anglo-saxon approach.
When it comes to getting acquainted with a certain thinker I suggest finding some important essay they've written. You always gain much more from reading primary sources. In most cases I use SEP and IEP only when I can't be bothered to have more than a very shallow understanding of some thinker.
At least avoid Wikipedia, most of the philosophy articles seem to be written by American undergrads who also never read primary sources.
Jayden Butler
what are primary sources?
Jose Reed
Aristotle's Physics - primary source
"A very short introduction to Aristotelian natural philosophy" - secondary source
Josiah Gray
What does irony mean?
Leo Collins
What the thinker in question has written. The problem with reading only secondary sources is not only that it's twice removed (you're reading someone else's reading) but that even good scholars disagree on what is a crucial aspect of that thinker. Whereas by reading the primary sources you see all the nuances and subtlety of their thought.
It's happened to me more than once that I dismissed someone based on popular interpretation. Then much later I decided to read them for some completely different reason and found out that I misjudged them.
