Mind Papers -- Mind and Consciousness Papers

OK, yes, I have been on a consciousness kick of late. It's a fascinating and infuriating field of research. One of the great resources on the web is Mind Papers -- Mind and Consciousness Papers, complied by David Chalmers (Editor) & David Bourget (Assistant Editor).

The site seems to be updated regularly, with the last time being today (April 25th).

Here is the table of contents, which will give you an idea of what a magnificent resource this site is.

Table of Contents

• I. Philosophy of Consciousness [2821 entries]
• II. Intentionality [2404 entries]
• III. Perception [1848 entries]
• IV. Metaphysics of Mind [2178 entries]
• V. Miscellaneous Philosophy of Mind [2376 entries]
• VI. Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence [1213 entries]
• VII. Philosophy of Cognitive Science [1558 entries]
• VIII. Science of Consciousness [3998 entries]

The downside of this site, like so many good academic sites, is that the papers available online are mostly NOT open access. That sucks. Why should research be kept hidden behind the walls of academia? The per-paper price is usually around $30 or more, which is absurd. I'd pay $5 dollars, maybe even $10 for a good, long paper, but not $30.
