There's a lot going on on the discussion board - and it's really good philosophical inquiry.  I last opened it yesterday late afternoon but first thing this morning there were 36 entries to look at.  And I'm going to be away until Sunday evening with no internet connection; at this stage of the course this could be a problem.  I'm taking the textbook with me so I can at least keep in touch with the ideas.  But after what I've just been looking at, I now want to take Notes from the Underground too - and Being and Nothingness if I have it, but I don't think I have.  But I was trying to travel light!

The debate about truth seemed slow to get going at first and now there is no stopping it.  I've contributed a few things and have nearly made several other observations but have stopped myself (I'm always interested when that happens).  In one case, i wanted to say something about Plato's Symposium (during our debate on Love) - but I felt it might be a thread killer.  In another, I wanted to add something but hadn't worked it through or had got into an internal contradiction. (I should note when this happens though.)

I haven't much time this morning - I should be marking, I'm packing to go to Aberdeen and I have to go for my train to go to work.  I'm writing hastily and all the time thinking about what this blog should "feel" like.  It's not really just a matter of transferring from Blogger - that's a different type of space.  It almost feels as though in it's in a different place (physical) in the web - which does suggest an intersubjective construction of the online world.

This sounds as though I'm going to want to keep two blogs going.  (But it'll be next week before I can do this.)
