PEA soup : a blog dedicated to philosophy, ethics, and academia
http://peasoup.typepad.com/
PEA Soup is a multi-contributor philosophy blog. The chief subject matter is ethics, although this is interpreted broadly, and in addition to covering applied and theoretical ethics and metaethics, also includes allied areas such as political philosophy, philosophy of action, and personal identity. Posts on other philosophical topics appear from time to time. Additionally, the blog has a secondary focus on academic life, and thus includes subject-related news announcements (calls for papers, conference details, links to new online resources, and so forth) and posts on matters of interest to those involved in philosophical research or teaching at university level. Boasting several dozen contributors (including some eminent ethicists), the blog is updated regularly, and discussion in the comments (in which readers are encouraged to participate) is often lively. One of the foremost ethics blogs on the Web.
