All [these pages] I've uploaded this evening (Feb. 1) are sections of a set of lectures I wrote out one quarter (and read to my poor students). This will require radical reworking and general wikification to become appropriate for WikiPedia. On this page, we can discuss how to do this (if you're into it, that is!). |

This is a series of introductory philosophy lectures LarrySanger wrote out completely and read to his unfortunate OhioState? students in the spring of 1998. Printed out it's about 350 pages long. Its audience is average undergraduates who have never had a philosophy class before. It covers, in a conversational yet concise fashion, all the main subdisciplines of philosophy, with a few exceptions (e.g., PhilosophyOfScience? and AestheticS? are omitted). This material will require radical reworking and general wikification to become appropriate for WikiPedia. On this page, we can discuss how to do this. See all [these pages] to search for all current pages that mention 'LarrysText'. Table of contents (please keep this updated as you wikify!): |

I added a note to the top of most of the pages. I would hope the notes don't last longer than the first couple of edits, which should suffice to make them read suffeciently less like lectures. And haveing them link here means interested parties can find which ones have not yet been reviewed (that gives me an idea: ReviewRequests). That having been said... Thanks for the material, Larry. I skimmed sections here and there, and it all looks quite good. Quite a boon for the PhiloSophy section. I might just look you up and request a copy when I have to teach some undergrad intro class (or will the wikipedia be enough by then...). --PhillipHankins |
