Mindfields and Protagoras

Description: Mindfields and Protagoras are two hypertext applications aimed at teaching philosophy to first level undergraduates. Protogoras is an introduction to the philosophy of knowledge, covering all the central areas including the nature of knowing and believing, and the sources and types of knowledge. Mindfields introduces students to the basics of the philosophy of mind (dualism, materialism, machine consciousness etc.). Both texts contain a detailed index and bibliography, self-assessment and formal assessment tests, plus a 'Notes and Queries' page where students and tutors may interact.
