I decided to review websites focusing on philosophy as a final project for this class. The main reason I chose this challenging task is because I am a new computer owner and this has forced me to truly learn how to use the internet. The list that was given out in class was a helpful start. I did manage to link to other sites by simply “playing” on the computer and typing in key words. The following sites are the ones I have chosen to report on. Enjoy!The Philosophy Sitehttp://homepage.eircom.net/~philosophy/index.htmlThis site has many links to University departments, journals, articles and even has its own forum for discussing any issue that interests you. Examples would include the meaning of life, politics and religion. The type of conversation is through a message board. In order to join a discussion or propose a new one, simply click to the message board. Another person who visits the site can look in the Philosophy Discussion Centre and choose to debate on an issue of choice that is posted. The maker of the site is from an Irish background and states that the aim of his page is to provide access to high quality philosophical resources on the internet. He notes that the internet information may be “awash and mediocre and sometimes inane”. I decided to try looking at the message board. I saw myriad amounts of titles ranging from abortion, mercy killing, suicide to marriage and love. All of these messages were all current in the year 2000.The Author explains his dedication to philosophy and teaches you how to get a successful web search for any topic of choice. The author is nice enough to list a glossary of new and old philosophers according to discipline. Everything is done for you. This page is like a huge database of information for the philosophical guru. This site is a must for teachers, professors and students in high school and college.Philosophy Pages http://www.philosophypages.com/Upon compl...
