For those of you who don’t read the Leiter reports, or happened to miss Brian’s latest offering, then be sure to check out the Philosophy Research Network’s (PRN) new web site (Still forthcoming but currently operational). I wont rewrite the entire description as you can find it on Brian Leiter’s site but I will provide you with a link so you can check out the PRN for yourself.

After you follow the link expand (+) Humanities Research Network, then HRN Philosophy Network. You’ll see all the resources there.
