Blogs, MOOCs, and Philosophy

!. So, as you can see on the thread below about PHILOSOPHICAL SECTARIANISM, the blog is pretty good way of learning about philosophy. The conversation is enhanced by the fact that you can read (or not just hear) what others have to say and take your sweet time before responding. Please join in. The upside is that there’s no charge (although voluntary donations are welcome) for being educated. The downside is we offer no credit.

2. I’m still thinking about the MOOC. Here’s my initial reaction to the stand taken by the San Jose State philosophy department. Again, your comments are more than welcome, because I want to make this better quickly.
