!. 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.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
