I was updating a few links when I discovered
something I didnt really expect to find out during a regular webcrawl. If you crawl
on over to John
Hawthornes CV, and scroll not too far down, youll see that he has a paper
forthcoming in The Monist, co-authored
with me. This is very
exciting news, especially to me!
Despite the somewhat incredulous tone of the last
paragraph, I was more or less aware that the
paper was more or less likely to appear,
so it wasnt like I had a paper accepted at a journal with no knowledge of it
(and in fact I even have a draft
of the paper available) but it still wasnt exactly how I expected to get
confirmation of another publication. I wonder if news of its acceptance is official
enough to put on this years annual report?
In other co-authoring news, it looks likely that
the paper Andy Egan and I wrote on pranks
will be presented at the Symposium
on Theoretical and Applied Ethics at LSU next February. I think its my
duty to play this up for all its worth – its only fair that adding a few
jokes to a good idea for a paper that someone else (i.e. Andy) had gets me to
count as an ethicist. Im not sure why its fair, but
now that Im an Ethicist, I can just say that its fair and thats already got
some evidential weight.
