Update on New Features at EpistemeLinks

I thought I would update readers on enhancements I've made at EpistemeLinks over the past 2 months. Here are the highlights:

• Audio and Video - I have combined and expanded the former Audio and Video sections into one Audio and Video section. This section provides a database of nearly 1,000 links to philosophy-related audio and video content, including audiobooks, lectures, radio interviews and discussions, and more, all available on audiotape, CD, VHS, DVD, or various online formats (Windows, QuickTime, RealTime, MP3, MPEG, and so on). These links are searchable by philosopher, topic, title keyword, and more.

• Course Materials - I've expanded the Course Materials section. This section now provides links to course websites as long as they at least provide a syllabus. (In the past, more robust materials such as lecture notes or handouts were needed to be included.) At the same time, I have added about 100 new links in this section in recent weeks.

• Fun and Humor - I've added functionality and categorization to the Fun and Humor section, which contains links to philosophy-related jokes, satire, cartoons, games, and other fun stuff. You can now see the entire list of links (nearly 100), or you can filter the links to see only those categorized by a particular philosopher or topic.

• Selected Books - I've added a new page that provides a list of Selected Books, with links to Amazon.com and Half.com. So far, the books included are several hundred from popular book series as well as a few dozen general reference titles in philosophy. More will be added in the future.

• Philosophers Timeline - I've added a new page that provides a Philosophers Timeline based on the birth dates of the philosophers included at EpistemeLinks.

• Over 500 new or updated links at the site... bringing the total links in the database to around 20,000.
