Hi,
I'm Mark, I'm a journalism student at University of Winchester. I'm in my first year of a combined honours degree and am finding the return to study a little daunting. However, I've got through the welcome meeting and introductory lecture unscathed, so am hoping to build from there.
As part of my degree course, there's a requirement to keep a blog and update it with information relating to the course. I'm guessing I can also update it with anything I'm interested in, but I'm not so certain on that, so I'm going to try not to deviate too far from the brief.
The introductory lecture was on the subject of philosophy and gave a very brief overview of 'philosophy through the ages', starting with ancient Greece and moving all the way through to the Renaissance and Descartes. Given the huge period of time that was covered by a single 2 hour lecture, the subject was necessarily given a very superficial treatment, but there was enough information to allow the beginner (e.g. me) to not feel completely out of my depth when approaching the set book for this part of the course (Bertrand Russell's 'History Of Western Philosophy')
Further bulletins as events warrant.
Mark
