What's New on Philosophy Online

Apologies - You may have noticed that the site has been down for a few days. This has been due to some work that my web hosting company have been doing, and was beyond my control. However, the work is now (hopefully) complete, and there are no further planned disruptions that I am aware of. Let me know if you continue to experience any issues.

More generally, I am pretty snowed under with work at the minute, so please excuse my slowness in responding to posts, etc. I will respond as soon as I get time. - 0 comments | Write Comment

About Philosophy Online

PhilosophyOnline began in about 1999 as my own private project. As an A level philosophy teacher, I initially intended it simply to support my own philosophy students in their studies. So, by allowing them to download notes for lessons they had missed, read online texts, and access links to useful websites, I hoped to generally support and encourage them in developing their independent study of philosophy.

From this humble beginning, the site has continued to grow and improve, and its purpose is now much expanded, intending to act as an accessible introduction for anyone looking for a no-nonsense guide to the subject. Accordingly, you will find here material related to some central philosophical themes (the theory of knowledge, the philosophy of religion, and the philosophy of mind), a few of its key texts (Descartes's Meditations and Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil), a discussion forum, relevant links, book reviews, and various other bits of useful information. I am hoping to be able to add to these sections in the near future, and - inline with the redesign and the ongoing publication of my books - to develop the site in new directions. In view of this, whilst I am restructuring and writing new material, the old material will still be available. However, when using or citing the old material, please bear in mind that it will soon be removed.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the site over the years, and especially to those who have taken time to pass on their comments, suggestions, and general appreciation. Such messages are always welcome, and you can reach me via the contact form on the website. However, if you have a question, please check out the FAQs section before contacting me.
