In Summer 2018, I'm developing an online introduction to philosophy. The textbook is the Norton Introduction to Philosophy, edited by Rosen, Byrne, Cohen, Harman, and Shiffrin.
The videos are closed captioned, and they are designed to be accessible as audio lectures (i.e., all important content displayed on screen is also spoken).
