  • First episode of Michael Sandel's video series "Justice." Reminds me of an Ethics class with a political and real world emphasis. [1]
  • Randy Mayes has collected some ehhhokay short philosophy video to go along with his intro class. I recommend sampling some of these for topics and position papers. [2]
  • Anyone interested in classical philosophers and want their original texts would be interested in this site [3] I've used it to look up The Meno, but I'm assuming more stuff is on here.
  • 3 minute philosophy!!! [4]
  • Free Yale Philosophy class called "Death" [5]
  • Squashed Philosophy [6] -- a summary of many different works. Great if you need to get an idea of what's what.
