I meant to add earlier when writing about Wo’s latest entry that it would be fun if many more people in
philosophy had blogs, so there could be a rolling public
permanent discussion. EPhilosopher has discussion boards, but blogs seem to encourage slightly more careful commentary. (Bracket
here my comments below about McGinn and darts.) On
the other hand, if everyone had blogs, I’d probably
do nothing but write responses to things I see on blogs.
On the third hand though, there might be nothing wrong with that – I’d probably
produce much more philosophy this way
than I would writing one or two papers per semester (or year, or decade) for
journals.
