The PhilSci Archive is an electronic archive for preprints in the philosophy of science. The goal of the Archive is to promote communication in the field by the rapid dissemination of new work.

This is one of my favorite subjects, and I'd never heard of this. Many of the papers look great. Thanks.

It's sad that this sort of system is required if you want people to read your work within a year of its completion. Ideally, journals would be fulfilling that role...but most philosophy journals take 8 months or more to get through the peer review process these days. (Some good comments on this problem here.)
