Finding
out more If you are interested in finding out more about philosophy in general or perhaps are thinking of studying it then
Peter Suber's Guide
to Philosophy
on the Internet is a good starting point. Concepts
has a huge list of links, Philos-L
is
massive (you will find links to most things from these two). For those
who read French,
an interesting site drawing on the work of
Alfred North Whitehead is Michel Weber's Chromatica.
If you would like to read some philosophy try these accessible journals: The Philosophers’ Magazine Philosophy Now
If
you are interested in studying philosophy by distance learning look at
Sheffield University's Pathways
programme. There is access from this to
the University of London
external BA programme as well. Pathways also offers an
intriguing 'Ask
a Philosopher' service.
What's
going on
For
recent ideas on the direction and potential of Philosophical Counselling
look at my own Thoughts and
Reflections, my ideas and the ideas of
others about what is the Philosophical
Life, or visit my forum on Practical
Philosophy
where you can take part in debating what philosophy means to you. If
you just want to read
some thoughts on life and philosophy, visit my Blog.

Discussion

Discussing Practical Philosophy
If you would like to test out some of your ideas about practical
philosophy with others,
visit the Practical
Philosophy forum. If you are starting a new thread, it may help to work
out what you are going to say in advance.
But keep it simple
and brief -- philosophical ideas
are best understood when they are
written clearly and
in simple terms. If you are responding
to someone else, be respectful
of their view and
give reasons for any opinions that you express.
