AskPhilosophers
It's  a common joke that philosophy grads end up saying, "Want fries with that?" once they finish school. Ha ha ha. Sure, they often end up in fields untouched by the thoughts of Wittgenstein or Hegel. But now, those with the desire to continue their cogitative quests can bring enlightenment to others at AskPhilosophers. Set up by the thoughtful folks at Amherst College, this site specializes in "putting the skills and knowledge of trained philosophers at the service of the general public." Got a question about such profound heavyweights as existence, knowledge, or rationality? Ask away, or browse the numerous answers already supplied. What about something more "real world"? There's plenty here for those wishing to explore hot morality topics like punishment, happiness, and of course, sex. So the next time some smart aleck berates you for your choice of degree, just point out today's Pick and see if the brainiac can provide a rational answer to this old conundrum. (in Humanities) |
