News and views about philosophy, the academic profession, academic freedom, intellectual culture, and other topics. The world’s most popular philosophy blog, since 2003.
Everything you say is true, but what is the alternative? I don’t think people are advocating a return to in-class…

A new reader poll: what other philosophy-related blogs do you read regularly (e.g., 2 or 3 times per week)
UPDATE: Whoops, I forgot to include Philosophers' Cocoon. Sorry!
ANOTHER UPDATE: So there were nearly 2300 votes cast, though since this poll allowed multiple votes, I'm guessing this represents the reading habits of the 600+ readers who read this blog and others. Unsurprisingly, given its similarity (New Infantilism excepted!), Daily Nous is also read by 32% of respondents. After that, the most popular other philosophy-related blogs among readers here are Feminist Philosophers (12%), the Philosophy Metablog (or MetaMeta, or whatever it is now) and Philosophy Smoker (both 7%), and then Crooked Timber (6%). I was a bit surprised by the result for Philosophy Smoker, given that it seems fairly moribund.
