Those that know me well know that I’m a bit of a philosophy geek. I did an MA in Literary Theory back in the day and I’m still trying to work it all out. So much so that I’ve become a fan of jogging round the local park listening to the latest philosophy podcasts and trying to work it all out. Sounds bizarre but listening to a couple of people debating Aristotle whilst you’re running for an hours is actually very relaxing. I recommend it.
The team over at Philosophy Bites have just posted a list of free online courses available right now. Not just philosophy, you’ve got everything from economics to music in there. I wish I had a resource like this when I was studying back in 1997, I reckon it would have produced a dissertation that was actually legible.
