Hey Phiers,
We hope you’re all having a fantastic week.
It was lovely to hear more about what philosophers can bring to the Web3 space from Fotis Tsiroukis on November 12th. If you missed that career event, Fotis talked about his journey from academic philosophy to Web3 (and back), how the blockchain works, Ethereum culture, and the functioning of decentralised organisations. He also gave valuable insight into decentralised work and how philosophers can contribute to it with their skills.
Fotis (and other community members who attended the workshop) kindly shared a host of resources for you to dive into the world of Web 3, learn about it and get started on your decentralised work journey. I included them in this blog post and divided them into two categories: ‘learn’, to know more about decentralised work and Web3, and ‘get started ’, with links to things you can join.
Learn#
- University of Nicosia free blockchain courses: free online courses covering decentralised finance, digital currencies, blockchain and digital assets. They explain how cryptocurrencies and smart contracts work, with practical examples and expert-led teaching.
- Regenerative Finance: a critical overview of the promises and pitfalls of regenerative finance.
Get Started#
- The Paris Institute: The Paris Institute aims to create a public space in the humanities and arts, a space for everyone to enjoy and learn, free from the constraints, gatekeeping and regulations of traditional higher education. The Paris Institu reimagines the academy as a venue of learning for its own sake rather than as a means to an end. It does not believe in standardized courses, grades, or diplomas: only self-motivated students with passionate interests should enrol in courses, and these courses should be tailor-made by equally passionate educators. Become a member of the Institute here.
- ResearchHub: ResearchHub is a Web3 research community that is accessible to everyone anywhere, with no content residing behind paywalls and no costs to participate. It is a collaborative workspace and research space where visibility is given to impactful research.
- Mirror: Mirror is a space for Web3 publishing. It is a publishing platform that, again, seeks to make research accessible to everyone anywhere.
And if you missed this month’s career workshop, have a look at Fotis’ slides for an introduction to Web3 for philosophers:

From Federico Ast (Kleros)#
Earlier in 2022, Federico Ast — co-founder and CEO of Kleros, the decentralised justice system using blockchain and game theory for dispute resolution, and speaker at our “Future of Law-Tech” event — shared two preview videos from Kleros’ free online course on building in Web3:
You can follow Kleros for course updates or connect with Federico on LinkedIn.
This is everything from us, for now. We hope you’ll find these resources useful and that they’re going to help you with your education and career needs.
