    Ooh Bob you sneaked in there like a turnip thief in the night!

    I'm just looking at the set book for the short course actually, I'd forgotten how much textbooks cost! :eek:

    I am sneaky like that:D

    Amazon For books plus put a call out on student board to see if anyone has any- you never know.

    They are a bit cheaper on Amazon - I might need to get doing some surveys again for Amazon vouchers.

    Hmmm a money-neutral education, there's a thought!

    It is very tempting as a plan.. although extra money work on top of the debt-busting.. still I can sort of manage the debt-busting from my salary, so 'study money' could come from job 2 and surveys etc.

    I think I have decided on this short course - http://onlinecourses.conted.ox.ac.uk/coursequeries.php?id=O10P323PHV - it's £180 and the set book is £9 on Amazon, so that would be £189 to find to start off with.

    That looks an interesting course- i did something similar on one of my units for My Masters course- no text books unfortunately but lots of online linkies saved on my pen drive-if you decide to go on the course, i would be happy to PM the links to you.:D

    That would be fab Bob, thank you :) I think it would be a good one for getting my mind working in that way again. I'm in a bit of a weird situation because I have quite indepth knowledge of some areas but have some big gaps in other areas because I haven't done a whole degree.

    The problem with that course, well the one i did-is that there is no definitive answer as to what knowledge is. The thinking behind it goes off in tracks as well. The bits i found the most interesting is that without realizing it-society defines our definitions of knowledge- absolutely fascinating and one which will be debated endlessly.

    Ahh that's what I love about Philosophy - following lines of argument and possible theories, rather than there being definitive "right answers".

    The society idea is very interesting indeed *adopts thinking pose*
