Philosophical creativity involves raising the most thought-provoking questions and defending one’s own answers to such questions. Blogging encourages creativity in philosophical debate, especially when each student has his or her own blog, because it allows for fairly spontaneous expression of ideas and it invites students to journey out of their blogs into the blogworld established by another. In order to debate with one another, students in my Cyberfeminism course posted their own position on an issue on their own blog and then visited one another’s blog to find others’ positions on the issue. They posted their responses to others’ positions either on their own blog or on other students’ blogs. The more technically-adventurous included links to one another’s blogs in their own blog’s discussion of an issue.
