• Sample extraction and analysis of Socrates' argument that death is a blessing.
• Descriptions of what an argument is, of vocabulary describing arguments, and of some good and bad arguments.

• Episteme links, probably the best-organized collection of philosophy links and resources on the web.
• An annotated bibliography (with some links), organized by topic, of various debates in philosophy.
• The Philosophical humor page compiled by David Chalmers.
• Socrates' Argument Clinic. Since we'll be spending a lot of time reading Plato's dialogues, in which Socrates is featured, I thought I'd give you the chance to match wits with Socrates yourself.
