 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.

Latest addition to our list...

The Big Ideas Blog is produced by the Big Ideas team, who also organise talks and discussions in Central London (see under 'Events'). Not only does this offer a wide range of general philosophical comments and discussions, but it included The Philosophers' Carnival, a regular survey of interesting posts from blogs worldwide.

Go the the Big Ideas site at www.bigi.org.uk

 

http://boltonian.edublogs.org is an interesting philosophy blog, covering a whole range of topics, 'polite' in the sense that contributors argue rather than rant, and featuring substantial items rather than short posts.

To get a taster, the link below is to the reproduction on this blog of an article by Dr Gerard Hughes on Dawkins criticism of religion - valuable for anyone who is into the Philosophy of Religion:
