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.

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.
