* An excellent page on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. The advertisement for the work boils Hegel down to basics quite nicely.

* The SEP has an article on Impossible Worlds. I'm skeptical of some of the HoP implications suggested at the beginning; but if you admit a possible worlds formalism there are excellent reasons to admit an impossible worlds formalism.
* The "Chicago Boyz" blog is having a roundtable on Xenophon's Anabasis. Xenophon, against the advice of Socrates, joined the Ten Thousand, an army of mercenaries, to fight for Cyrus the Younger against his brother Artaxerxes II. They won a key battle at Cunaxa, but Cyrus was killed in the fight, leaving the Greek mercenaries stranded in hostile territory. Xenophon is usually overshadowed by Plato, but all of Xenophon's works (including the historical ones) are philosophical works, expressing his own brand of Socratism.
* Michael at "The Smithy" recently had a series of posts on the Theoremata Scoti:
Theoremata Scoti, Pars I

Theoremata Scoti, Pars III A
Theoremata Scoti, Pars III B 1
Theoremata Scoti, Pars III B 2
Theoremata Scoti, Pars IV
