Welcome to my Philosophy Blog

This blog is a consequence of starting an evening course in philosophy last October.  In the first term we were set the assignment of completing a "Philosopher's Diary" and this is something I added to week after week as a reflection of each particular week's lesson content.

Well, I was thinking - the day of the diary has past and I should finally bring my studies into the 21st century by using a little more web 2.0 technology in my learning.

So this term, instead of a "Philosopher's Diary" I'll be completing a philosopher's blog (or at least a wannabe philosopher!).

The word Blog comes from the shortening of the term "web log" and as such I've named my page the "Phlog" as it's my attempt at a "philosopher's log".

If nothing else, this blog may provide me with a way of reflecting on the content of this term and coming up with some ideas for this term's assignment - to deliver a 10 minute presentation using multimedia technology in week 9 of the course.

Any feedback or comments would be welcomed - I'm new at blogging and new at philosophy so please bear with me!

I'll start by posting my reflections of last term's learning before I begin with this term.
