Philosophy on the Internet

There is an enormous amount of philosophy-related material available on the internet. A highly recommended first port of call is Alan Keig's Philosophy Page. Alan is the philosophy research librarian here at the University of Adelaide. He has developed a comprehensive collection of philosophy related links and material.

Another terrific resource is the AAP Homepage where you will find links to:

The Australasian Journal of Philosophy
Information about Philosophy Departments in Australia and New Zealand

For philosophy events in Australia and New Zealand check out the Philosophy Events Calendar. For some non-academic discussion of philosophy see Philosophy Now Magazine.

For local events see the University of Adelaide Philosophy Club and our Discipline Seminars.

Eureka Prize in Ethics

Professor Garrett Cullity is this year's winner of the Eureka Prize for Ethics, announced last night by the Australian Museum. Professor Cullity won the prize for his book "The Moral Demands of Affluence", in which he argues that a life well-lived should be the goal of every human, rich or poor. Professor Cullity says that it is not morally wrong to live a life of rich personal fulfilment. He is donating his $10,000 Eureka Prize to aid agencies. "Life Matters" on ABC Radio National has an online interview with Professor Cullity.

The Secret Life of Bacteria

ARC Postdoctoral Fellow Pamela Lyon raised eyebrows when she started researching bacterial behaviour for clues to understanding cognition. That work is featured in a segment of All in the Mind (ABC/Radio National), in which Pamela is interviewed together with microbiologists from the University of Chicago and Princeton. The podcast and transcript of that program are available at the All in the Mind website.
