John Dewey : democracy and education
http://www.ilt.columbia.edu/publications/dewey.html
This website provides an e-text of John Dewey's famous treatise on pedagogy, 'Democracy and Education'. First published in 1916, this seminal work outlines the aims and system of progressive education. Rejecting notions of transcendental truth in reality, Dewey developed a philosophy of Instrumentalism (related to Pragmatism), which insisted that truth is an instrument used for solving problems, and must change as human problems change. His work looks at the social function of education and the role it is required to play in a democracy.

Methods of Sidgwick
http://www.laits.utexas.edu/poltheory/sidgwick/
Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900) was a Victorian academic, and in many ways embodied the spirit of the Victorian period with his constant search for knowledge and breadth of study he embraced. He studied philosophy, religion, politics, mathematics, ethics, adopting John Stuart Mill's ideas about utilitarianism, developing formulas for social welfare, and promoting women's education. This website contains e-texts of his most important works: "The Elements of Politics" "The Methods of Ethics", "Practical Ethics", and "The Principle of Political Economy". Each chapter is organised by sections that are indicated by brief descriptions. This format makes the texts searchable and gives easy access. There is a secondary source by David Braybrooke entitled "Sidgwick's Critique of Nozick", as well as a couple of links to further your search. Methods of Sidgwick forms part of the larger Classical Utilitarian Website (CUWS).

Paideia project on-line : Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy
http://www.bu.edu/wcp/
The Paideia Project On-Line is dedicated to the Proceedings of 20th World Congress of Philosophy at Boston University, held between 10 and 15 August 1998. The most substantial aspect of the site is the Paideia Archive, which makes available almost a thousand papers presented at the conference. The archive arranges papers by subject matter in an orderly and user-friendly manner, and the coverage is fairly comprehensive. Beyond the traditional philosophical categories, there are sections on the philosophy of sport, education, children, gender, and literature, plus regional entries focusing on African, Asian, American, and Latin American philosophy. The papers themselves are in printer-friendly HTML format and, with a few exceptions, are in English. They are written by professional philosophers and graduate students who attended the Congress. There is a sophisticated search function for finding particular topics in the archive. This resource will be of primary use to research students and faculty members, especially those investigating the less conventional or widespread areas of philosophy.
