Can anyone recommend some introductory level stuff on Turing machines, Turing completeness, the halting problem etc.? I need it for a masters level course, and some of the students haven’t done philosophy before.

We all see colours differently, so does that mean that our brains 'make up' colour? Is colour real? What is colour?

Henry Taylor presents his new exciting project Philosophy Smash with Henry
Isabel Wollaston discusses the morality of choices in the Holocaust
We hosted an Applied Ethics conference for local schools today, with brilliant talks by Isabel Wollaston, Jeremy Williams, & Henry Taylor. From choiceless choices and animal rights, to the objectivity of moral wrongs, it was a rollercoaster! #philosophymatters #philosophyforeveryone #philsky
