I work as a professor at a university in Saudi Arabia. Philosophy resources are limited. Such open access sharing provides access otherwise unavailable and makes such materials available to improve teaching. I appreciate your working to make such access an important contribution to higher education for those of us working in lesser developed countries.

I am a high school teacher trying to go beyond the basics of what my seniors are charged with knowing about writing--narrative, descriptive, argumentative, expository--and the standard curriculum of research. In talking with my former students, at no time in their high school careers were they exposed to philosophical ethics, a discipline and writing style that they all agree would have been advantageous for them to know going into college. Therefore, while I may be deviating from my set curriculum, I believe my job is to prepare my students for college, and your Open Access has allowed me to gather resources for my students. I thank you, from Kansas City.
