I’ve been digging through iTunesU for Philosophy material (we’re preparing to develop content for next year) and I found a whole set of lectures from Hubert Dreyfus’s at UC Berkeley. I can’t figure out how to post a link, but here’s how you can find it:

Go to the iTunes Store. Click on ‘iTunesU’, which is usually at the bottom of the list a box on the upper left. Scroll down to UC Berkeley, Click on ‘Arts & Humanities’ under ‘Courses’ (the second box down from the top) and you should see his courses.

McDaniel is, starting in ‘09-’10, requiring a 3rd year ‘writing in the discipline’ course for all majors. In preparation for this course, I’ve been collecting a list of words and/or phrases with philosophic implications of which most undergraduates are unaware. For example, many undergrads use ‘conclude’ as a synonym for ’summarize’, and ‘assert’ as a replacement for ’state’. I’m particularly interested in highlighting those with logical implications that are unknown to our students.  read more »
