Anthologies

A collection of links to papers found in philosophy anthologies. I intend this only as a way of finding important, related works which are already publicly accessible. To emphasize this point, links will actually be simple Google searches.

[square brackets] indicates a paper without a search link.
*star indicates a paper which I've not yet seen on the open web (search is likely to fail).
