All discussions from the previous site, covering October 2015 to February 26 2026, are preserved in our read-only archive:
The new forum is a fresh start, so old threads are not hosted here. To find a past discussion, search the archive site.
If you need help locating a specific thread, feel free to ask in this topic.
There is a permanent link to the archive in the sidebar menu, under “More”:
3 posts were split to a new topic: How to customize my profile
New features just deployed on archive.thephilosophyforum.com:
Full-text search is now available on the TPF Archive, so you can search through all the posts—not just titles.
Phrase search is supported: put your terms in quotation marks to find exact matches, e.g., "categorical imperative".
To try it, go to the search page and click on the Full Text tab.
Incidentally, the thing that compelled me to implement it was that I noticed from looking at Google Search Console that virtually all of the archive content has been removed by Google from their index (why exactly, I don’t know), so using Google to run searches is no longer an option.
