Philosophy And Genetics which are only occasionally discussed in different groups, there will be a place for the discussion of issues in human natures, the philosophy of the family http://csmaclab-www.uchicago.edu/philosophyProject/genetics/proposal.html
Extractions: The Philosophy and Genetics group is up and running! Please connect to us by clicking HERE to reach the current page information, then change your hotlist link to new location. Following, though, is a description of the group as it exists on the new page! The Philosophy and Genetics group is broadly conceived, and is designed to catalyze discussion of philosophical issues occasioned by the science of genetics. By "broadly conceived," it is meant that in addition to the important issues in the philosophy of biology and bioethics, which are only occasionally discussed in different groups, there will be a place for the discussion of issues in human natures, the philosophy of the family, feminism, ethnicity, psychological development, and social and political thought. This wide-net approach will allow for dialog between religious ethicists and philosophers of science, scientists and political theorists. To that end, discussion of the problems with genetic mapping and fingerprinting will mix with conversation about prenatal testing and "positive" genetic modification. Those participating in the list are invited to bring problems, readings, cases, questions and suggestions. The list should be a resource for those considering offering courses or mini-courses on philosophy of biology and ethical issues in medicine, as well as a place to discuss the rapidly changing research funded by the D.O.E. and N.I.H. Human Genome Initiative. Is the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues Division an appropriate governmental initiative? How ought we articulate the direction for genetic research?

Extractions: ABOUT Great Books discussion groups are a forum for thoughtful adults to read and discuss significant works of fiction, philosophy, political science, poetry, and drama. Great Books discussions are nondidactic, open-ended gatherings where people of all backgrounds come to talk about substantial literature and the great ideas and issues that literature addresses. The object of a Great Books discussion is not to go home with the "right answer." The object is to examine the many questions raised by a text and to test some of the many possible answers by looking back to the text, using sound reasoning informed by our own experience. Great Books discussions are text-centered and employ a method of discussion called shared inquiry . Shared inquiry is collaborative and question-driven. A group explores an author's words for their meanings and implications and examines the many ways in which participants interpret and react to the issues the author raises. (Read about training in shared inquiry.)

Discussion Groups Free public lectures and discussion groups in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne with topics on philosophy, atheism and many more. http://www.atheistfoundation.org.au/discussion.htm
Melbourne Group Philosophy Cafe The aim of the discussion groups is to solve some of the identified problems, but the main point is to actively participate in philosophical discourse. http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/cite/staff/philosopher/oz/mg.htm
Extractions: The format of the meetings reflects this aim through its unique style. Each meeting begins with the introduction of a topic by any of the members. The main group then divides into small discussion groups of around 6-10 people. The discussion groups are asked to discuss the issues brought out of the introduction and related to the topic. The aim of the discussion groups is to solve some of the identified problems, but the main point is to actively participate in philosophical discourse. The reason for this is based on the assumption that philosophical skills of logic, argument, criticism, analysis and understanding can be developed through discussion. Membership You do not have to be a member of the Philosophical Society of England, but you can join by going to the Society's website The Society was founded in 1913 by academic philosophers who wished to bring philosophy to the general public. It achieves this through its local groups, such as the London Group, its Associateships, Fellowships, and philosophy distance learning programs, and its journal

Extractions: Network and Netplay : Virtual Groups on the Internet by Fay Sudweeks (Editor), Margaret L. McLaughlin (Editor), Rafaeli, Sheizaf Rafaeli (Editor). The vast, international web of computer networks that is the Internet offers millions of users the opportunity to exchange electronic mail, photographs, and sound clips; to search databases for books, CDs, cars, and term papers; to participate in real-time audio- and video-conferencing; and to shop for products both virtual and physical. This huge conglomerate of links, hyperlinks, and virtual links is not just a technology for linking computersit is a medium for communication. The convergence of computer and communication technologies creates a social convergence as well. People meet in chat rooms and discussion groups to converse on everything from auto mechanics to postmodern art. Networked groups form virtually and on-the-fly, as common interests dictate. Like interpersonal communication, the networks are participatory, their content made up by their audience. Like mass-mediated communication, they involve large audiences. But the networks are neither purely interpersonal nor purely massthey are a new phenomenon.

Extractions: Education Objectives Awards Contact Us ... Academic Divisions The Use of Computers in Philosophy Over the past several years, the philosophy discipline has made extensive use of computers for philosophy courses. Students in philosophy have used the facilities at the Library and Laura Lander Hall on an individual basis, yet we found that many of our students required individual instruction for basic computer tasks including the use Majordomo Discussions Lists, Message Boards, and and logic software. Approximately 500 students from all disciplines at the University enroll in philosophy courses each year, and many of these students undertake logic courses as part of the logical and analytical thought component of General Education. Also, many of our students are Education and PEES majors required to take an introductory philosophy class. We have found that students benefit from additional help with basic computer tasks. Consequently, the philosophy faculty are dedicated to help all our students be successful with the technological component of our philosophy courses. The Philosophy Server Philosophy makes extensive use of computer-assisted instruction, and the use of a Philosophy Server is an essential part of coursework for many classes. In some courses, student homework is done on computers, saved to disk, and then evaluated by the instructor. In other courses, archived Majordomo Discussion Groups and Chat are an important part of the class. In fact, past and present Majordomo discussion groups provided by the Philosophy Server include business, history, English, Spanish, Linux, and philosophy. In several philosophy courses, students are able to submit papers directly and immediately to a Web page, and other students are able to comment on-line directly and immediately on the same Web page.
