The go-to index for philosophy literature, with category-based browsing. Many entries link open-access PDFs you can drop straight into a notebook.

Built and curated by philosophers, so its category tree reflects how the field divides itself rather than a generic subject taxonomy. That makes it the fastest way to assemble a reading list for a notebook on a specific philosophical question. Many entries are bibliography only, though, so check whether the linked PDF is really open before counting on it.

## Import into Gemini Notebook

1. Copy the link: https://philpapers.org
2. In your notebook, click Add source → Website.
3. Paste the link and confirm — several links can be pasted at once, one per line.

**Tip:** Archives return scans and item pages rather than clean text — look for a transcript, PDF, or article summary before importing the artifact page itself.
