Advice about primary sources especially PDFs

Fine Doubter August 24, 2021 at 23:14 1025 views 3 comments

Please can you advise me about primary sources especially PDFs. I'm going to continue comparing and contrasting commentaries on philosophers, but I feel ready to choose a few more primary sources. I'm especially keen on free PDFs.

I've got (in book):

Epicurus, Hannah Arendt, Gilson, K Popper, Thouless, Jevons, Huw Price

Among PDFs I've got:

Engels (only for fun prose), J H Newman, Bertrand Russell

Many of my commentaries contain extensive quotations also.

Check out https://www.earlymoderntexts.com/

treasure trove of .pdf files on early modern philosophy, revised editions with annotations.

CCEL has an index of .pdf articles mostly Christian apologetics but with a few philosophical topics. https://www.ccel.org/index/format/pdf

If you type in a search for a book or author in Google and then add "Filetype: PDF" after it you will only get links to PDFs (for the most part).

Should be loads on Gutenberg.
