Ask a Philosopher

MOVING TO FRONT from Oct. 10 (see Update)

==================

This is a clever idea, created by philosophers at Amherst College:  a web site where you can pose philosophical questions and get answers from academic philosophers.  A somewhat eclectic mix of philosophers are participating, many, obviously, from the Five Colleges area, plus their friends, but many very able younger and senior philosophers.  I can see this site becoming quite popular as it becomes better known.

UPDATE:  Actually, "Ask a Philosopher" is a service hosted at the University of Sheffield since 1999, while the new service from Amherst College is called "AskPhilosophers."
