More Blog Rankings July 5, 2009

Here is an interesting compilation of rankings of Top Philosophy Blogs. Amongst all of these rankings, we find that the Feminist Philosophers‘ blog and such Chinese philosophy blogs as Chris Panza’s and Manyul Im’s get top billing. This is quite impressive and does seem to point to the power of blogging in bringing attention to what are often minority sub-disciplines within the profession.

Maybe I’m wrong, but this strikes me as an awfully backhanded compliment, Colin. For what it’s worth.
Oh it was certainly not intended that way, I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but I simply meant to say that it is heartening to find that good philosophy thrives in the blogosphere regardless of its relative “popularity” within the profession. Anyone familiar with the profile of sub-disciplinary strengths within a typical philosophy department in the US would be surprised to find that feminist philosophy and chinese philosophy are hot topics in the philosophy blogosphere.
