Jonathan has a post and a very long discussion thread on Hume’s Law. I think some of the discussion could have benefited from looking at Gillian Russell’s paper on Hume’s Law, but it’s still pretty interesting. And I never have comments threads that go 33 deep, although the Homestar Runner post keeps approaching that level.
Ektopos is keeping a list of philosophy blogs, and it’s now reached 50. But it’s already out of date, since it doesn’t include this blog. (By the way, despite the efforts of that blogger to stay anonymous, I think I have enough evidence to figure out who they are. Their secret is safe though, because I’m too lazy to do said figuring out.)
While on the topic, I’d include Crooked Timber as a philosophy blog, but we don’t seem to make it to Ektopos. For that matter, caoine (which I definitely don’t know how to pronounce) is much more a philosophy blog than many of the 50 on that list. I thought maybe they were not counting undergrad blogs, but Hot Abercrombie Chick is a freshman, so that can’t be a policy.
I’ll tell Matthew (of Ektopos) to give you a link:)
I’m appalled that I somehow missed a blog that is almost a week old!
In my defence I’ve always thought of Crooked Timber as a cross-disciplinary blog. I’d be more than happy to link it in my links section. For the record I did included it in Ektopos’s headline aggregator, twice.
Finally I have no excuse for not linking caoine. (Other than the fact that I’ve never heard of it till now.) I guess I could use being a conservative as an excuse. Maybe people might then excuse my stupidity! We conservatives are all dumb, and have a long history of dumbness, so nobody should be surprised at our mistakes. 🙂 As soon as I’m done writing this I will flagellate myself for the errors.
Well, looks like he got to it before I had a chance to tell him:)
Perhaps, I should ask Matthew to add my blog to the list. Although I’ve only been blogging in English the last three weeks 😉
“Caoine” is pronounced kwee-na; she’s taken the word from the Irish, god bless her.
Three phrases should be among the most common in our daily usage. They are: Thank you, I am grateful and I appreciate.
