    Probably falls under rhetoric, writing, and speech:

    Philosophy:
    http://www.luc.edu/philosophy/philosophylinks/

    Key works of 7 philosophers:
    http://www.luc.edu/philosophy/basic_ethics_reader.shtml

    It seems to me, it should include Confessions by Augustine (probably considered more theology than philosophy, but it fits under both not just one). If Summa Theologica can be both, why not Confessions.

    I might add some political philosophy or applied ethics to make to round out these resources.

    Probably more appropriately just philosophy, but some phenemenological resources–need to track more of this down:

    Looks interesting/could be useful for design thinking:

    There is also a design thinking course on Coursea on innovation.

    Argument more broadly–fixing the logical fallacies:

    http://ojs.uwindsor.ca/ojs/leddy/index.php/informal_logic/article/view/2577

    (there are probably more articles on this point)

  8. Nathan Ketsdever / Jul 29 2013 6:09 pm

    More on logic & informatity, etc…

    http://ojs.uwindsor.ca/ojs/leddy/index.php/informal_logic/article/view/2570

    The first one, in particular looks interesting. The second one seems radical in premise–to seemingly reject any distinction between two core types of argument.

    Overall the breakdown of their archives:

    Although as a learner and reader, its more than worth it to buy a book or two of Aristotle and a book or two of Plato or a broader reader with sections from classic philosophy.
