The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Eds. James Fieser, Ph.D, University of Tennessee at Martin and Bradley Dowden, Ph.D., Sacramento State)
http://www.iep.utm.edu/
"The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization to provide open access to detailed, scholarly information on key topics and philosophers in all areas of philosophy." This scholarly source makes it easy to search for any name or topic in philosophy. The articles are informative and clearly written by authors who hold Ph.Ds in the field of Philosophy.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (The Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University)
http://plato.stanford.edu/contents.html
The SEP was designed so that "each entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, [the SEP] maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research."
