NameDrop philosophy game
Looking for an amusing distraction? Philosophy Now offers a simple game that tests your knowledge of when philosophers lived. Called NameDrop, it presents you with a name (and the names range well beyond the Western philosophical canon) and you try to identify the century in which that philosophical luminary lived. Figuring out how to play takes some trial and error, but it’s surprisingly interesting once you get going. It would be nice if the program offered more information about the various philosophers included, but if one strikes your fancy, you can always do some follow-up research!
