Ach! You, a philosophy major, haven't heard of poiesis?!!! What are they
teaching kids these days (-:).
Go to <http://www.nlx.com/posp/index.htm>  ...  "Poiesis" is the name of a
major online philosophical search & research tool ... indexes and allows
searching of 50 or 60 different academic philosophical publications. Sort of
the "Lexis-Nexus" of philosophy. -JRC
