Post MIT Online

MIT has decided to put it's course materials out on the internet for free. I've only taken a quick look at it, but they seem to have put some good stuff out there.

Here's an article about it with a link to the MIT site:

Thumbs up

Wow! I'm still looking through it a bit in another window, and it's pretty amazing. They're obviously nowhere's near a full curriculum, but there are quite a few courses up there now. I looked at Problems of Philosophy, yes a 100 level class, but the first section is: "REASON TO BELIEVE: DOES GOD EXIST?" One of the readings is about Pascal's Wager. They go on later in the course to Kant, Nietzsche, etc. If nothing else, you could come away with some good reading from checking these things out! <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" />
