Thanks especially to Dan Lee for locating early Lander resources for
the history section of these pages.
Credits for the Philosophy Server and the
Logic Lab
Thanks go to Bill Poston who
first posed the possibility of a philosophy Web server.
An immense debt is owed to John Archie,
now at the University of California Santa Cruz, who set up
the Philosophy Server and the lab computers . As the system administrator for
http://philosophy.lander.edu, he sustains security programs and
patches; maintains all the services, applications, and logs; and has
trained
students and faculty alike on the myriad uses of the server and the Logic Lab.
The setup and maintenance of
the logic lab is also due to John Archie who is
responsible for the building and
installation of the computers; the networking, cabling and routing; the
installation of OSs, applications, and programs; and hundreds
of hours of preparation, configuring, and tweaking. The Java
Applets, MySQL, CGI, and Perl scripts he wrote make student learning in
philosophy and logic interactive. The
faculty continue to be immensely grateful for his freely donated labor, insight, and
implementations.
The service to the Lander
Community by the Philosophy Server and the logic lab and its
connection to the Lander network was
ultimately made possible by the computer experts in the Office of
Computing Services. The encouragement and assistance of Lander ITS and
Mike Henderson makes our small network have an especially
effective impact on student learning and enrichment at Lander
University.

Garden Bordering Barrett Hall
"Logical investigations can obviously be a useful tool for philosophy. They must, however, be informed by a sensitivity to the philosophical significance of the formalism and by a generous admixture of common sense, as well as a thorough understanding both of the basic concepts and of the technical details of the formal material used. It should not be supposed that the formalism can grind out philosophical results in a manner beyond the capacity of ordinary philosophical reasoning. There is no mathematical substitute for philosophy." Saul Kripke, Truth and Meaning (1976).
