There are far too many useful web resources in philosophy for me to attempt to link a significant percentage of them. I recommend the following sites as sources of useful links: Guide to Philosophy on the Internet and Episteme Links. Here are few links on particular topics covered in this class:

• The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a very good online article on the ontological argument. A version set to the tune of "Waltzing Matilda" seems to have disappeared from the Stanford Encyclopedia site, but can still be found here. The Stanford Encyclopedia also has an article on Leibniz on the problem of evil, and on many other topics relevant to this class.
• Also in the Stanford Encyclopedia, we find a long article on Descartes' Epistemology.
• A good discussion of Searle's Chinese Room Argument by Larry Hauser is here. 
• A very nice discussion of the "knowledge argument" against physicalism (i.e. the argument of Nagel's "What is it Like to Be a Bat?" and Frank Jackson's discussion of Mary the color scientist).
• For ethics, an absolutely essential site is Lawrence Hinman's Ethics Updates.
