All philosophy, all the time

In keeping with the early blogworld ideal according to which a weblog should consist entirely of links to other weblogs—preferably only those that link back—, here is another set of links. This time it’s blogs on philosophy or by philosophers, plus a few on language. I wish I knew why so many philosophical weblogs are run by epistemologists. See the Addenda, 1 and 2.

Online Papers in Philosophy Philosophy Papers Online These two sites contain links to papers. The first is managed by Brian Weatherson, and tracks changes to pages that link to papers. New entries show up almost daily; you can do the usual string searches. The second, more austere, site is managed by Richard Heck. It resembles arXiv.org both in its procedure and in its circa-1995 look. You can search by date of submission, author, title, keywords, or area. SWIF Rassegna Stampa The Italian press actually pays attention to philosophy. Book reviews, interviews, notices of conferences. In Italian. SWIF (Sito web italiana per la filosofia) is an online “review”, one of the older sites of its kind, with a wealth of information for those who read Italian. I read the “Rassegna Stampa” links to maintain my—merely serviceable—reading ability. Philosophical Weblogs A list compiled by David Chalmers when he was still at Arizona.

Metatome Group weblog on teaching philosophy. Mumblings of a Platonist Since this is a philosopher’s weblog, these are very articulate mumblings. Includes cat pix. Opiniatrety Etymologically dubious, but epistemologically sound. Addendum (17 Dec 2004): Not dubious after all. It’s Locke’s anglicization of the French opiniâtreté, from opiniâtre, ‘opiniated’ (the suffix -âter, from Greek -aster, denotes a pretender to whatever is denoted by the stem, as in ‘poetaster’, ‘philosophaster’). I find it almost impossible to pronounce ‘opiniatrety’ correctly more than once in a row. OrangePhilosophy Graduate students at Syracuse.
