The history of philosophy podcasts...

 

Professor Peter Adamson of King's College London, has launched a series of podcasts which will eventually cover the whole history of philosophy. He's starting with Ancient Philosophy, so go on line now to hear him speak on Plato.  If the first podcasts are anything to go by, this will be a fascinating resource, both for students and those who have a general interest in philosophy.  Each podcast lasts 20 minutes, and he's issuing them each week. There's also a blog on this site.

Try them on www.historyofphilosophy.net

Ever since Plato presented Socrates' ideas in dialogue form, philosophy has thrived on discussion.

 

Expressing views and having them challenged is the life-blood of critical thinking. Blogs are a great vehicle for doing just that - so why not read what others have to say, and perhaps venture to join the debate.
