Best Blog

Why is this the best philosophy blog out there? For one thing, you get it for free; you don’t pay a penny for it (and I don’t make a penny). But that is a common property of blogs—why is this one the best? Because it has the best content: the best written, the best philosophical ideas, the greatest variety, the most digestible format, and me responding to comments. No junk, no filler. In addition, I situate the philosophy in the context of a life, which makes it more approachable (“relatable”). I think it makes the ideal way to learn philosophy, though by no means introductory. Any graduate student could learn a lot from it. I don’t set out to teach, but it can be mined for instruction. It is also non-repetitive and freshly minted. Never boring. But perhaps the best thing about it is that I don’t get bogged down in academic bullshit; I keep it pure. Not all that dreary crap about how to make it in the “profession”, but pure unadulterated philosophy. No tedious academic politics. Here you get the real thing. But is it the best by far? Of course it is (not that I read the others). If anyone wants to suggest an alternative choice, I am all ears.
