Nominated by Fr Stephen Janos - The Free Lance Academy
According to Lance Fletcher, "the intention of the teaching of slow reading (which is what I understand philosophy to be) is to subvert the customary mode of reading and to afford students (i.e. those who make us the gift of their listening) some critical access to their own interpretive activity. The purpose is not, however, to leave students with the notion that the text means whatever they make it mean. Quite the contrary! By disclosing to students their own act of meaning, the practice of slow reading gives students access to authorial intent." On this site, Fletcher promotes a group of lists to "enhance the possibility of generating a community of discourse. Philosophy is not a single conversation. It is, I submit a network of conversations..."

"The development of thinking skills has been identified as of great importance to the educational development of young people. Information handling, reasoning, creative thinking, and evaluation are all of great importance — and will be even more so as we move towards a knowledge-based economy. How to think will greatly affect a person's life chances. The other big influence on this is the emotional intelligence of the individual — are they self-aware, self-regulated, motivated and empathetic?" (Aude Consultant Paul Cleghorn).

Nominated by Swami Narayanananda - William James
"It has sometimes crossed my mind that James wanted to be a poet and an artist, and that there lay in him, beneath the ocean of metaphysics, a lost Atlantis of fine arts: and that he really hated philosophy and all its works, and pursued them only as Hercules might spin or as a prince in a fairy tale sorts seeds for an evil dragon, or as anyone might patiently do some careful work for which he had no aptitude." John J. Chapman, friend of William James.
Nominated by Randall Albright - The Marxists Internet Reference Archive

Dr Kelly didn't receive his doctorate until his mid 70's. Before discovering his vocation as a thinker, he had been a member of Australia's Northern Territorial Police. His thesis seems to be that the universe was created by God to be evolutionary: "The world can be understood as a process involving the possible self-creation of an entity like God". He talks about process philosophy and also mentions Samuel Alexander.
Nominated by Cameron Dempster - Wholeness Seminar
From the site: "The theme of this seminar is a statement, What Wholeness means to me and the obvious subsequent question, How can this best be imparted to others?"
Nominated by Heiner Benking - Allan Randall's Home page
A real working philosopher! He comes from a background in computer sciences. He calls his area computational metaphysics. "To exist is to be computable." In a number of works he provides relationships between philosophy and the current state of Quantum Physics, especially the many worlds concept. A good place for anyone looking for links between science and philosophy.
Nominated by Cameron Dempster - Back to Socrates
From the site: "Modern thinkers, applying the criteria of science, have concluded that traditional philosophy was false and meaningless: philosophy was reduced to a number of specialised disciplines and techniques that cannot approach the ultimate questions that originally gave rise to Philosophy. For the guidance of life we were left with dogmatic religion on the one hand and, on the other hand, the nihilism of a science that can work practical wonders but has nothing to say about meanings and values. Only full-blooded philosophy can help us overcome this dilemma."
Nominated by Geoffrey Klempner - Guide to Philosophy on the Internet
Perhaps the most comprehensive guide to philosophy on the internet.
Nominated by Leonidas Maniatis - Philosophy Now: a magazine of ideas Rick Lewis
I like the variety of articles.
Nominated by Dan Williams - Squashed Philosophers
It helped me to get to grips with philosophy books that I had heard of, read quotations from, yet never read. Having read these, I would have a go at the full text. They are good examples of précis and act as tasters and pathfinders for new readers such as myself. I will now tackle David Hume without feeling that I am about to climb Everest in a fog, without oxygen.
Nominated by Michael Brett - Philosophy Sites on the Internet from Tel-Aviv University
Well-ordered and comprehensive table of contents. Wide variety of philosophical subjects and materials right online.
Nominated by Dr Gholamali Shamlou - Confucius
A first-class quick overview of Confucius. Particularly worthy because it does not neglect the many difficulties of interpreting Chinese characters in western words.
Nominated by Glyn Hughes - Philosophy Pages
It is not possible to set one category for this site. It has an awful lot. A large section looking at the history of philosophy and ideas through the ages. Information on major philosophers. A philosophical dictionary of terms. Guides for studying philosophy. Lots of reference materials listed for additional study. Even has a section on logic.
Nominated by Cameron Dempster - Trinityism
No, I didn't understand it either. I've a vague idea that Bartek is proposing a system of understanding based, not on a dualist right/wrong good/bad principle, but on something with three basic states, but what these states are is quite beyond me. He gets his gold star for the rare and precious attempt at creating a complete system. It fails, but I wish there were more.
Nominated by Glyn Hughes - Paradise Engineering
Extraordinary! Good solid analytic philosophy, but with added heaven and eternal life. Pearce has devised a 'possible world' plan in which pain simply does not exist. What marks it out from other utopias is that, as far as I can see, it is entirely plausible and completely justified.
Nominated by Glyn Hughes - Zeno's Coffeehouse
From the site: "Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic philosopher, was born about 490 B.C. His style of argument was to assume, provisionally, the position of the opponent, and then to derive impossible conclusions from it, thus establishing the absurdity of the assumption. In the spirit of this Reductio Ad Absurdum dialectical approach to critical thinking, our Coffeehouse activities will tackle from time to time so-called 'common sense views,' analyzed critically. The mental gymnastics will be good exercise!."
Nominated by Geoffrey Klempner - Articles from the Royal Institute of Philosophy
A valuable source of accessible papers by contemporary philosophers including a feature article from the current volume of the RIP journal Philosophy together with "a rotating selection from previous volumes; articles from the various Supplements to Philosophy, also frequently updated; plus transcripts from a variety of RIP special lectures, seminars and events."
Nominated by Geoffrey Klempner - Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
