Philosophy Courses on iTunes

If you stop to think about it, it's quite amazing that so many philosophers have made available the audio for entire courses. Recently, two of John Searle's courses have been added to iTunes: 

Philosophy of Mind (Philosophy 132)

Philosophy of Language (Philosophy 133)

This photograph of Searle (1992) is from the great collection by photographer Steve Pyke.

wikipedia worries

Here is a link to a Crooked Timber entry that recounts the funny discussion between David Chalmers and a Wikipedia "editor." Chalmers is attempting to suggest improvements for an article on consciousness (some of which involves his own work), but he is met with replies like this from the "editor":  "As can be seen above, most of your criticisms are not supported. Please demonstrate your familiarity with the field by supporting your critique with reasoned arguments rather than pejorative comments." (The editors didn't believe that Chalmers was really Chalmers.)
