Other Resources - Real World Philosophy  Introduction: Philosophy is not a mere academic subject, a curiosity to be pulled down off a dusty shelf to be admired from time to time. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living," and we, the philosophers, agree. Philosophy should be a part of our everyday lives. It is in this spirit that we present to you a collection of links to sites that confront the everyday from a philosophical point of view. Critical Thinking: What It Is And Why It Counts Peter A. Facione, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Santa Clara University provides an overview on the nature of Critical Thinking, applying it to real life experiences. Ariadne's Thread Follow Adriadne’s Thread through such important ethical issues such as abortion, affirmative action, and hate speech with this interactive and interesting site. Issues are presented as a debate between fictional characters with real-world views. Visitors can follow the thread of the main debate or go in for a closer look at certain topics, all the while developing and sharpening their understanding of these debates. Medical Ethics: Where Do You Draw the Line? This interactive site puts you in the hot seat. Choose one of three topics in medical ethics. Then consider the challenges that medical practitioners face daily. Visitors are asked to write short comments about why they hold a certain view and these comments are collected in a private "Ethics Journal" that visitors can access at a later date. Ethics Connection The Ethics Connection, the web site of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California, provides an ongoing dialogue about ethical issues. It was developed to initiate interaction between scholars at the and people in the community, who deal with ethical questions every day in the work place, in their homes, or at the voting booth. |
