New to this page.... Pathways to Philosophy
provide distance learning courses in philosophy. Their website includes an
Ask a philosopher section where you will find literally hundreds of
questions and answers. You may not agree that the questions make sense, you may
not even agree with the answers given, but its great fun to dip in and
consider/discuss what you find. This link also gives you with access to the rest
of the Pathways to Philosophy site:
