Welcome to Philosophy 2.0

Welcome to the Philosophy 2.0 Blog. Just when you thought they had run out of things to add a 2.0 to, we're throwing the most venerable topic of all into the Cyberspace continuum. By that we don't mean that the Internet is merely making Philosophy more accessible than it's ever been before - that we are already knew. What Philosophy 2.0 connotes is the rather startling fact that the nature of Philosophy is poised for its most fascinating excursion since the Ancient Greeks questioned the universe and remade it.

The Internet is more than a knowledge explosion, more than a research cornucopia, more than a place to chat and message one another - it is indeed the world's largest most diverse and most vibrant collective community ever created. Philosophy 2.0 is the realization of global potential, the ability to merge real-time with eternity, the marriage of creativity with all foundations simultaneously. We didn't make it here all at once and we're not nearly as far as we think we are - but the journey has passed a crossroads and we have arrived in a new heretofore undiscovered country.

As we survey this new world of opportunity, we must remember that it is and will remain the single greatest tool for good and positive deeds the human race has ever seen and we must endeavor to keep focused always on that path.

In the Philosophy 2.0 Blog we will explore the full range of traditional Philosophical questions - those great and small, we will then track the our global thought process as it accelerates exponentially over the next few years. We will watch as collective problem solving communities emerge and begin to tackle the greatest challenges the planet has yet faced - Philosophy 2.0 is here and it came just in the nick of time, never had we needed this potential more.

I hope you enjoy this Blog and I for one look forward to a future where ideas become mankind's most valued currency...
