Philosophy Without Borders, aka PWB, is a small cosmopolitan community of people, widely distributed in space and across time-zones, connected by the internet, who are pursuing philosophy together as a full-time, lifetime calling.

PWB’s two basic aims are:

to enable and support the pursuit of philosophy, worldwide, and

to create and share original works of philosophy freely available to anyone, anywhere.

In addition to Philosophy Ripped From The Headlines!, PWB also creates FIVE different types of philosophy, EACH of which is available for UNIVERSAL FREE ACCESS SHARING.

1. For those interested in GENERAL PHILOSOPHY, we’re publishing The Rational Human Condition, a five-part, four-book series:

1. Preface and General Introduction
2. Cognition, Content, and the A Priori: A Study in the Philosophy of Mind and Knowledge
3. Deep Freedom and Real Persons: A Study in Metaphysics
4. Kantian Ethics and Human Existence: A Study in Moral Philosophy
5. Kant, Agnosticism, and Anarchism: A Theological-Political Treatise

You can read The Rational Human Condition in weekly installments either HERE or HERE.

2. For those interested in KANTIAN PHILOSOPHY in particular, there’s the Contemporary Kantian Philosophy project, including the online journal, Contemporary Studies in Kantian Philosophy.

3. For those interested in EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES TO PRESENTING PHILOSOPHY, there’s Philosoflicks, a project for creating and sharing original VISUAL works of philosophy.

4. For those interested in CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, there are the Utopia Now project in global ethics and politics, as well as The WTFU Party and its Je Vous Dis, Merde! series.

5. And finally, for those interested in REAL ALTERNATIVES TO PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY, there’s the Against Professional Philosophy project, which is also on Medium as Against Professional Philosophy Redux & Retrospective.

We thank you so much for your generous support of our work.
