I think a mod should sticky a couple locked threads with valuable philosophical videos, and articles and texts. I say locked because if it’s not, it will inevitably be derailed, and I have in mind a mod thread that contains only useful links and small descriptions. Lettuce build a nice source for philosophical knowledge! This is a philosophy forum, and it would be fitting for us to have a database to places on the net where users can find free books and videos on philosophy.
I hope this thread will serve as a platform for users to submit what they think are good links. Please post a link and a short description of what the link contains.

> There is one thing I can be sure of: I am going to die. But what am I to make of that fact? This course will examine a number of issues that arise once we begin to reflect on our mortality. The possibility that death may not actually be the end is considered. Are we, in some sense, immortal? Would immortality be desirable? Also a clearer notion of what it is to die is examined. What does it mean to say that a person has died? What kind of fact is that? And, finally, different attitudes to death are evaluated. Is death an evil? How? Why? Is suicide morally permissible? Is it rational? How should the knowledge that I am going to die affect the way I live my life?

A sticky thread is a good idea, I’ll add to it later. I won’t lock it yet.
An alternative idea is that we (I) keep a digest of links stuck at the top of the board, and add to them. Might cut down on chatter and save space on what would probably be a rapidly-growing thread.
I’ll add some of mine when I have more time and access to my main computer.

Here are versions of some classics of early modern philosophy, and a few from the 19th century, prepared with a view to making them easier to read while leaving intact the main arguments, doctrines, and lines of thought.

I don’t know if anyone else managed to attend this year’s HowTheLightGetsIn festival in Hay last week, but if you’re not familiar with it it’s a fantastic philosophy and music festival with lots of interesting talks and debates. Videos of about 150 of the events are being uploaded at the moment to:
[iai.tv/](http://www.iai.tv/)
Some interesting material already online featuring the likes of Peter Hacker, Vince Cable and Simon Armitage. The site’s new but it should be an interesting resource with lots of high quality content.

Checked out the free lecture sight. Will definately have to go deeper into it.
Humean: would add my “Here! Here!” to the proposal. It sounds like an excellent idea. Not only would it make a good resource; but our having a common resource as a group, I think, would better facilitate discourse by giving us a common reference. I would think our coming from a lot of different philosophical paths would think tend to stand in the way clear communication. And yes, I would lock it down. We all know there are certain “wild elements” on here that have the propensity toward unintentional sabotage and re-direction.
WWW3: While not a proponent of the analytic tradition, I certainly enjoy a british accent as well. Will have to check out the sight.
Having limited time for these kinds of things, much less for searching the internet for resources. I tend to depend a lot on quick shots of ideals, and it would be really useful to me. But once again, I am serious when I say it needs to be closely moderated. In order for it to serve the purpose of focusing our common references, you can’t allow it to be packed with every link everyone happens to find or gratutitous rants by some drunk. Nor can it be filled with people’s comments on the link. This can always be done on threads they start themselves. It will require diligent editorial judgement.
That said, I once came upon a really good interveiw page on Gilles Deluez. I’ll see if I can’t hunt it down again.

I post free audio-books, ebooks, and video’s on the internet archive. In the realm of audio books, I have a project of audiobooks doing the various translations of Plato.
And since, as Plato rightly demanded, one cannot understand Philosophy without a correct understanding of names learned through the exercises in the exact sciences, geometry being one of his favorites, I have done original work in geometry, also, posting not only on the archive, but on YouTube.

Under their username there should be a button with “PM” on, although it may be disabled until you’ve had five posts approved. An anti-spam measure, if so, I’m afraid.
