                                Version 2.5
                      Revision date: September 28, 1994

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The information provided in this list will enable you to search libraries
all over the world, order books online, have journal articles faxed to you,
locate resources relating to various branches of philosophy (feminism,
politics, law, environment, mind, religion, etc.), get in touch with others
who are interested in your area of philosophy, access various
philosophy-related bibliographies, download logic software, consult the
Usenet oracle, and much, much more.  For those of you who have yet to
venture very far into the realms of cyberspace, I hope this list will prove
a useful travel guide.

This guide was initially compiled using a number of lists already existing
on the internet (the Morville/Clark philosophy list, the Fehrmann
philosophy and ethics list, and several politics, feminist, law, and
environment lists).  It is an attempt to provide a list extended in range
from those currently available, and is in part a reflection of my interest
in political philosophy and feminism (subject areas not well-covered in
previously available philosophy-oriented lists).  The list does contains
some resources which may be of limited direct academic value to
philosophers, but which are included for the sake of completeness.

Comments on suggested additions (in terms of both subject areas and
resources not presently listed) or alterations are welcome, and should be
forwarded to me at the above address.  Updated information on any of the
resources listed here is also welcome (and encouraged).

3.  TYPES OF RESOURCES INCLUDED.

The bulk of the resources referred to in this list are mailing lists and
usenet newsgroups, but gopher, FTP, telnet sites, and World Wide Web pages
are also listed.  For the uninitiated (for those who are still marvelling
at the wonders of email), these resources, and how they are used, are
explained below.

(i)  Mailing List: a mailing list is similar to a newsgroup, but requires
     that users 'subscribe' in order to participate in the discussion on
     the list. Messages posted to the list are distributed (usually
     automatically) via email.    In this regard, a mailing list is an
     automated and expanded version of an email program.  In the resources
     list below, a subscription address is listed.  This is the address to
     which you must write (via email) in order to 'subscribe' to a mailing
     list.  Once you have subscribed, you will receive some acknowledgement
     of your subscription via email, and any messages posted to the list
     should then be sent to the submission address listed.

     Most subscriptions to mailing lists are handled by software, rather
     than by the moderator/owner.  Subscription messages need to conform to
     requirements of the particular software automating the process
     (listserv/majordomo/etc.).

     To subscribe to a mailing list whose subscription address indicates a
     listserv or listproc processor, the body of your message should say:
    SUB  LISTNAME YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME
    (e.g. SUB FEMISA DEY ALEXANDER)

     To subscribe to a mailing list whose subscription address indicates a
     majordomo processor, the body of your message should say:
    SUB LISTNAME YOUR.EMAIL.ADDRESS
    (e.g SUB DERRIDA [e-mail])

     To subscribe to a mailing list whose subscription address indicates a
     mailbase processor, the body of your message should say:
    SUBSCRIBE LISTNAME YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME
    (e.g. SUBSCRIBE ART-SUPPORT DEY ALEXANDER)

(ii) Newsgroup: a newsgroup is a public discussion forum which is accessed
     via a newsreader.    Usenet refers to the network of newsgroups which
     are available on the internet.  Various newsgroups readers are
     available for unix, dos, and macintosh machines.

(iii) Gopher: gopher is an Internet access tool which locates and retrieves
     information and resources using a system of menus.  Once information
     has been located you can save it to your fileserver, and perhaps print
     it out later, or mail it to yourself or an appreciative friend or
     colleague.  Of all the tools on the Internet, gopher is one of the
     easiest to use, because it is completely menu-driven.

     In the gopher resource section of this list, an address is given in
     brackets following the name of the gopher site.  To connect to this
     site you simply type "gopher whatever.the.address.is" (without the
     quotation marks).    To access the resources listed for that gopher
     site, select the menu items as listed at the end of each listing in
     brackets, i.e. (/Subject Trees/Philosophy) indicates that you first
     select the menu item, Subject Trees, and from the menu which is then
     displayed, you select Philosophy.

(iv) FTP: is the File Transfer Protocol which allows you to connect to a
     remote site and 'download' files (get data from the remote machine to
     yours).  You can also 'upload' files from your machine to the remote
     machine.  Publically accessible FTP sites are referred to as
     'anonymous FTP sites'.  This is because you are required to login as
     'anonymous' (or as 'FTP').  When prompted for a password, you should
     send your email address (e.g. [e-mail]).  Once
     connected to an FTP site, some of the commands you are likely to use
     include:

     dir           gives a listing of files/directories accessible
               from the current directory.

     cd <directory name>   allows you to change to the named directory.
               Note that a forward slash (/) rather than a
               backslash (\) is used to denote paths on
               FTP-able machines.

     bin           allows you to transfer binary files (these are
               programs/archived files, and so on - that is,
               anything other than a text file).  This command
               should be executed prior to issuing a get or put
               command.

     hash           prints hashes on the screen so that you can
               watch the progress of a get or put command.

     get <filename>       transfers the named file to your
               machine/fileserver. mget allows for multiple
               files to be downloaded.

     put <filename>       transfers the named file from your
               machine/fileserver to the site to which you are
               connected. mput allows for multiple files to be
               sent.

     pwd           print working directory command which allows you
               to see which directory you are in, in case you
               get lost.

     bye           disconnects you from the FTP site.


(v)  Telnet: is a protocol which allows you to connect remotely to another
     computer in order to access the resources it offers.

     In the Telnet resources section of this list, an address is given in
     brackets following the name of the telnet site.  To connect to this
     site simply type "telnet whatever.the.address.is" (without the
     quotation marks), and login following the instructions listed.

(vi) WWW: World Wide Web (Web, or W3 as it is sometimes called) is a
     hypertext menu-based service which allows access to different
     resources across the Internet.  Hypertext is text which links to other
     documents and these links are accessed by means of highlighted subject
     headings, keywords, and so on.  However, hypertext on the Web is more
     accurately hypermedia, in that the links may contain a variety of data
     types, rather than just plain text.  The Web is extremely powerful
     because it provides links to a number of Internet resources, via
     telnet sessions, gophers, newsgroups, and more.

     Navigating the Web requires the use of a 'browser', a 'client' or
     piece of software installed on your machine which interfaces with the
     'server' software which facilitates the Web.  A browser initiates all
     the various linked sessions for you.  You don't need to know addresses
     or anything technical.  There are many different browsers available,
     depending on the type of machine you are accessing the Internet from.
     If your machine does not have a browser installed, there are public
     browsers available which can be accessed by telnet.  A number of these
     are listed below:

     millbrook.lib.rmit.edu.au, located in Australia - login as lynx
     info.funet.fi (128.214.6.102), located in Finland - login as www
     fserv.kfki.hu (148.6.0.3), located in Hungary - login as www
     vms.huji.ac.il (128.139.4.3), located in Israel - login as www
     www.twi.tudelft.nl, located in Netherlands - login as lynx
     sun.uakom.cs (192.108.131.11), located in Slovakia - login as www
     info.cern.ch (128.141.201.74), located in Switzerland - login as www
     www.edu.tw (192.83.166.10), located in Taiwan - login as www
     www.cc.ukans.edu (129.237.33.1), located in USA - login as www
     ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu (129.237.1.30), located in USA - login as www
     www.njit.edu (128.235.163.2), located in USA - login as www
     fatty.law.cornell.edu (132.236.108.5), located in USA - login as www

     Because these are public access sites, the browsers used are those
     which can be accommodated by any machine type - so it's nothing fancy,
     certainly not like using a browser like mosaic which has capacity for
     graphics and so on.

     You can, of course, install your own browser.  Web browsers are
     available via anonymous FTP to:
     info.cern.ch (128.141.201.74) (/pub/www)    or
     ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (/pub/mosaic)

     Web resources can be found by using the go command in the browser, and
     specifying the appropriate URL (Uniform Resource Locator).  Web
     addresses look like this:

         http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/top.html

     http refers to HyperText Transport Protocol, the protocol used by the
     Web to move data from place to place.  The domain address following
     the // is the machine name to which your browser will connect, and the
     path name following that is the path on the computer you're connecting
     to where the hypertext data resides. The html extension refers to
     HyperText Mark-up Language, the format of documents browsable on the
     Web.

NB: for more detailed information on the various resources offered on the
Internet, and how to understand and access these resources, I would
recommend the book _The Internet Complete Reference_ by Harley Hahn and
Rick Stout.  It should be readily available in bookstores carrying computer
books.    Other than that, there are a variety of helpful references
available in electronic text format on the Internet (see The Pipeline under
the gopher resources section).

The Marxism list has been conceived as a place to explore the field of
textual and political production generated by the work of Karl Marx (and
Friedrich Engels).  Clearly, this field encompasses a diversity of
differing traditions and figures, from Lenin and Luxemburg to Williams and
West; the complete A to Z from Althusser to Zizek, one might say.  It is
not the intention of the moderators of this list that any particular
tradition or othodoxy should receive more attention or more 'allegiance' on
this list than any other. Indeed, the moderators see little particular
benefit in calling themselves 'marxists' and scarcely require participants
in the list's discussion necessarily to identify themselves as 'marxists'
either.

The World Summit on Social Development (WSSD), to be convened by the UN
General Assembly in 1995, will bring together Heads of States to agree on
joint action around three themes: alleviating and reducing poverty;
expanding productive employment; and enhancing social integration.  In the
spirit of the UN Charter, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is
sponsoring this list to facilitate broad discussion of the Social Summit
issues.  The list offers a forum for the exchange of ideas among all of
those interested in the Summit themes.    For those wishing to have direct
influence on Summit outcomes, there are formal channels for providing input
into the Summit.  The list will offer information about those channels as
well as other Summit concerns.    It is hoped that the list participants will
discuss: concrete recommendations for policies and programs; actions that
could be taken by the UN; and ideas about the role of international
cooperation.  WSSD will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, 6-12 March, 1995.
There are many documents on the Social Summit available on the Internet,

in feminist work/lives.  The list will discuss autobiographical theorising,
pedagogy, personal experience, life-writing, literary criticism, theory,

teaching.  The idea is to challenge the view that 'academic' work and
'personal' experience should be kept, or are, separate, opposite, or
radically different things.  The traditional ways that we are taught to
think about ourselves, our identities, and or work, will also be
questioned.  This list is a space in which to discuss the place of the

thoughtful, sustained, and competent discussion of issues involved in the
understanding of the thought of Immanuel Kant. The list is open to anyone,
from any discipline,having a serious interest in this area of study.  The
Listmanagers have a particular concern to encourage close critical

and conversations all over the world and wrote several books concerned with
deep investigation on the nature of humanity and the self covering e.g.
love, religion, belief, relationship, death, thought, time, fear, envy,
meditation, beauty etc. Everybody is welcome on the list who has a serious
interest in  deeply questioning him/herself and the world we find ourselves

American philosopher/logician/scientist Charles Sanders Peirce.  Since
Peirce is especially associated not only with topics in logic and the
philosophy of science, but also with theory of representation and
interpretation ('semiotic'), and with the conception of thought as
essentially communicational and social, the list is highly
interdisciplinary in membership and discussion content.  The intention is
to keep continuing focus on the philosophical basis of his thought as well
as its special applications, and to sustain discussion which is
philosophical in content and attitude.    The list is sponsored by the
Department of Philosophy at Texas Tech University, and by the Peirce
Telecommunity Project/Electronic Peirce Consortium.

include: How should one read Plato?  Why did Plato write dialogues?  Is
there any such thing in Plato's work as a "Platonic Theory of Ideas"?  The
question of the chronology of composition - do we know, and does it
matter?

LN: plato-republic

SU: [e-mail]
SA: [e-mail]
ALEXANDRIA is a new Internet mailing list for the discussion of the Western
cosmological traditions. The focus of this symposium is interdisciplinary
and it is hoped that this list will foster discussion in two main areas:
historical and philosophical.  It welcomes postings and discussions which
relate to any of the spiritual, philosophical, and scientific traditions
that flourished in Hellenistic Alexandria: Platonism, Neoplatonism,
Pythagoreanism, the mystery religions, astronomy, astrology, alchemy,
mathematics, harmonics, Gnosis, Hermeticism, Greek religion and mythology,
mysteriosophical traditions, and emerging Christianity. In an age of
scholarly specialization, the emphasis of ALEXANDRIA is the study of these
and other traditions as they relate to one another within a larger cultural
context; the list will also welcome discussion of later scientific and
mystical cosmologies of the Western world.  The list moderator would like
to recreate the interdisciplinary, cosmopolitan atmosphere of ancient
Alexandria in a contemporary context and warmly welcomes the exploration of
larger philosophical questions: the nature and adequacy of cosmological
models, cosmology and the philosophy of whole systems, the relations
between underlying cosmological models and culture, art, education, human
welfare, and so on.

    Wm.Painter, Jr. ([e-mail])
SU: [e-mail]
SA: [e-mail]
This is an electronic forum for a discussion among scholars and scholars
about the history of ideas and intellectual history, broadly defined.
Though every the list touches upon ideas, ideologies, and intellectuals, it
proposes to focus upon the subject of thought; for instance in the context
of culture, education, art, social science, professionalisation, not
central to the other lists. The "highbrow" history of ideas and
intellectual history and "middlebrow" cultural and social thought at
popular levels continues to be a prolific field for investigation,
interpretation, publication, and critical revisionism. The "brow"
representations themselves are provocative, and deserve more elucidation.
One means the co-moderators anticipate stimulating discussion is by the
publication of book reviews highlighting controversial issues of broad
interest in the field. The list welcomes collegial critiques of research
and work in progress, of reports regarding significant developments in the
field, and any comments that aim to prompt useful talk about significant
things. Finally, the list will post valuable information about access to
new electronic tools and professional events. With a minimum of protocol,
the list is a venue for global conversation and communication among
professionals. The purpose of the co-moderators is to support an
interactive net that is lively, engaging, and useful to the subscribers
within the context of professional standards for argument.

UNDERCURRENT

Frequency:
Contact:   Erick Heroux ([e-mail])
Description:
As UNDERCURRENT'S audience is potentially much broader than that of
academic journals held only in university libraries, the style must account
for an educated audience which is not necessarily familiar with either the
jargon or the debates in a special field.  UNDERCURRENT wishes to publish
articles that address this broader audience while also conveying a vivid
sense of how current academic scholarship can contribute to our
understanding of the present.  The journal is attempting to bridge the gulf
between academia and the general reading public, a gulf which has allowed
various misperceptions about academia to become politically overcharged in
the popular media. The journal is seeking article submissions or queries
with abstracts providing an analysis of the present in terms of discourses,
events, representations, classes, or cultures.    The journal seeks to
publish analysis of the present from diverse intellectual
perspectives--feminist, historical, ethnological, sociological, literary,
political, semiotic, philosophical, cultural studies, and so forth.
Applied analysis rather than theory is sought.    Any theoretical orientation
ought instead to be apparent and immanent in your particular focus on the
present.  We especially encourage interdisciplinary work. Article length
varies according to your needs, anywhere from "short-takes" of 500-1000
words to "feature" of up to 7500 words.
UNDERCURRENT is founded on four editorial principles which
together make it unique among journals.  It is interdisciplinary,
applied, accessible, and focussed on the present.  What do we
mean by these four principles?
1. "Interdisciplinary" means that it begins with academic disciplines and
works through/with/against them in new combinations either within articles
or between articles--in order to see what might be revealed by crossing or
fusing disciplinary borders and/or creating new hybrids as tools of
analysis.
2. "Applied" means that it publishes only articles which perform an actual
analysis rather than explore theoretical issues. Theoretical discussions
already have plenty of journals devoting space to them in every discipline.
This is not the same as saying that theory is banished from UNDERCURRENT,
but rather that it is only theory in action that we wish to publish.
3. "Accessible" means that the articles are aware of an audience which is
not privy to specialized terminology, proper names, and the recent history
of your discipline.  This is not the same as saying that the articles
thereby lose rigor, but rather that they prove to be capable of interest
and comprehension by any intelligent, educated reader.
4. "The present" means that our articles demonstrate an awareness of who we
are now.  (We includes any group of people alive.)  An analysis of the
present highlights a force, trend, limit, idea, custom, event, or structure
which exerts some contemporary influence.  The "present" can be either
"residual," "dominant," or "emergent"--to use Raymond Williams' terms.
Submissions and queries can be sent in any of the following ways,
in order of preference:
1. e-mail to "[e-mail]" and note in the subject field
that this is a submission to UNDERCURRENT
2. Mail a floppy diskette with your text in ASCII or WordPerfect (address
below).
3. Mail two copies of your essay by traditional post to:
