Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
http://plato.stanford.edu/contents.html

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) is a Web-based, dynamic reference work, designed to be responsive to new research. The SEP is not yet complete, but so far includes over 600 substantial, in-depth entries with bibliographies. Entries are written and updated by experts or groups of experts, normally solicited by invitation by a member of the distinguished Board of Editors. A fixed edition is produced quarterly, which facilitates citing of articles as well as archiving. (abstracted from the Charleston Advisor)
