This is one of my new favorite sites. Even if you've studied these topics for years, you can always discover something new by looking at the basics again.

Actually, the more I think of it, the more I like this site.

Here in China I've been sending all my students there. Why? Because the current system here focuses everyone on "practical" education, rather than pure knowledge, philosophy and the arts. The result is a sinister and sublte form of mind control, which primes people for obedience and exploitation by an authoritarian government.

Philosophy is the greatest gaurantor of liberty.
