Videos: Behind The Scenes: Philosophy Writing

By

Elliot Temple

What does the philosophy writing process look like? In these five video screencasts, Elliot writes Fallible Ideas emails and narrates his thought process.

• Uses philosophy to answer people's questions
• Discusses what to include or not when writing
  
• Features additional comments not in Elliot's written emails
  
• Tips on writing style and wording
• Tips on interpreting what other people are saying
• Examples of how to read complex writing by breaking it down into simple chunks
• Watch Elliot make some mistakes and then edit to fix them (everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone handles mistakes well)
