Top 100 Open Courseware Links for Theology and Philosophy

The top 100 open courseware links for philosophy and theology (HT: The Splintered Mind) I’m putting this as a main post rather than on the sideblog since the sideblog doesn’t get aggregated.

MIT in particular has a lot of great courses. There’s a lot of lectures that are available as podcasts from several universities as well. (I regularly listen to Dreyfus for instance)

I suspect there are a lot more out there. This selection seems to have been picked more because of the theological connection rather than the philosophical one. So if you know of some good ones link to them in the comments.
There were a bunch that I really wanted to listen to from MIT but they are only available as Real Player files. While I could, I’m sure, figure out a way to convert them to play on my iPod I really don’t want the hassle.

Fortunately some of the files are available on MIT U on iTunes. Unfortunately the ones I want aren’t.

I know I’ve linked in the past to Berkeley U on iTunes which has the Dreyfus lectures on both Existentialism and Heidegger among others. If you’ve not checked them out you should. I learn something new every time I listen. There is also a nice general page for iTunes U that lists lots of resources from multiple universities.

Oddly for reasons I can’t fathom BYU is no longer associated with iTunes U. (It used to be) Anyone know why? I can think of several classes that would be fun to have on my iPod.

Cool! Thanks.

Clark,

Thanks for the link.

An easy way to convert Realplayer, is to download one of many free programs that will convert from Realplayer to MP3, which IPods will play. There are several you can google, or go to download.com and find.

Yeah. It’s such a hassle though. I have a folder full of audio files I need to convert and always seem too busy to do.

An other great link is to John E. Drabinski’s course work. He has several lectures available as podcasts. (Note: I’ve not listened to any of these yet) They cover a fair range of topics including Derrida, Heidegger, Husserl, Fink and more.
