Why PhilPapers and PhilArchive?

The PhilPapers Foundation provides free access to a number of useful resources in philosophy, including a comprehensive index of philosophy scholarship and an open-access repository where anyone can read and download full-text philosophy articles written by professional philosophers.

For any books or articles you can't retrieve through FSU after searching our databases with the title you saw on Philpapers, request access via Inter-Library Loan.
