Introductory Works

[blueeyedboy]

Is there anywhere on the Internet I can find online philosophy texts. I really want to read Being and Nothingness as I saw this in a film called Identity on the seat in John Cusack's limo. I knew about it before this, but I don't know how its ideas were used in the film. Also, are there any texts on free will and determinism by famous philosophers on the Net.

The philosophers I am most intrested in are Martin Heidegger, Jean Paul Satre, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Neitzche and Soren Kierkegaard.

Any help with these, I would be grateful.

Why not buy them? they are not too expensive from amazon.com.

I know I have been slack in keeping up with stickies (few months absence) but there is a bit of a guideline there.

If it is introductions you are looking for I would suggest Existentialism is a Humanism before trying to read B&N, it is a lot shorter, much more straight-foward and would be far less frustrating (is also a lot more practicle should you wish to read it online, and cheaper should you want to buy it). Of course this isn't exactly a great work...but you asked for an introduction.

Also read Albert Camus :P He rocks so much more than Sartre and is easier to get into.
