Death lecture video

This may interest those of you in RPE301 (Love, Sex and Death) - and others. You may want to skip to http://academicearth.org/lectures/death-intro and move to the others in the series (a lot if this is introducing his class) - but I thought I'd start at the start...

I liked this; but note - it does have that notable American philosophy standard item: cross-legged prof sat on desk, in Converse. I say this fondly - it is a cliche - but it also made me smile.. which is a good start for a lecture on death.

Watch it on Academic Earth

See the rest of the series at http://academicearth.org/lectures/death-intro with loads of great resource links...

Fantastic Philosophy Resources at MIT

Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made huge amounts of their 'courseware' available, free, online. This includes a lot of philosophy materials. For example, see HERE for lectures notes on a range of topics including the Problem of Evil, the Ontological argument, and a range of ethical topics.


There are also video lectures on 'The Philosophy of Love in the Western World' - HERE - which will be of interest to students taking the RPE301, Love Sex and Death course.

Cheers,
Dave
