I divide the philosophers according to three levels of coverage--major, moderate, and minor. The division refers to my degrees of coverage; it is not an absolute measure of the completeness of the account. The degree of coverage is not necessarily my evaluation of the importance of the philosopher.
Within each level, philosophers are listed alphabetically. Just follow the links. If a philosopher's name is not present in the title of a page, you should check the list of topics to locate the point of coverage. Most of the links direct you to material provided in the History of Philosophy.
