Starting somewhere
Welcome to the new derbis.org.
In case the tag-line of this site has left the topic unclear, let me restate that the writing here is concerned with philosophy and education. And philosophy of education. And education in philosophy.
I apologize for the cuteness of the foregoing statements. I will try not to let it happen again.
To begin, I would also like to offer a brief introduction of…myself. I am an amateur philosopher thinking of trying out for the pros. I have abiding interests in educational theory, social and political philosophies, as well as literature and more ethereal writings. It is my experience that blogs not held to a circumscribed domain of interest tend to lose momentum and then founder, and so I will do my best to keep the posting here “on topic”.
I currently live in Portland, Oregon, but am soon moving across the country to Brooklyn, New York. I have about five jillion thinks to do between now and then, and I hope that this blog will serve as a nice distraction slash focus for getting my philosophic language games polished.
