Encyclopedia Resources for History of Philosophy
There is an excellent Guide to Doing Research in Philosophy prepared by Alan Mattlage, Reference Librarian in McKeldin Library.
Most Internet History of Philosophy Resources are fair to poor. But worth checking out is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and not just because I am an associate editor for Jewish philosophy! There are some wonderful articles therein.
Modern Philosophy
Jonathan Bennett's Early Modern Texts in Philosophy
Jonathan Bennett is one of the most important historians of modern philosophy. He is more interested in philosophy than history, which has made him a bit controversial as a scholar. It has also led him to "translate" the classical texts of modern philosophy into contemporary language (well, contemporary with Oxford in the late twentieth century!) These "translations" are well worth reading to get the gist of the argument, especially for the British empiricists, who wrote in 17th and 18th century English. Anyway, if you love philosophy and you love the history of philosophy, you should check out his website.
Epistemelinks has a good listing of websites categorized according to philosopher for our period.
Descartes
This site presents the Meditations in three languages: Latin, French, and English. Descartes wrote the work in Latin. It was translated shortly thereafter into French. The English translation is from 1901, and is not recommended for serious study.
Check out a fair website on Descartes with lots of links here
Spinoza
Spinoza's Ethics
Rudolf Meijer has a good website presenting the Latin text of the Ethics (and other works) by Spinoza, with the Elwes translation, which has now been superceded by the Curley translation.
