The philosophy papers blog is updated. The highlights are three papers by Stephen Yablo: New Grounds for Naive Truth Theory, Content Carving for Fun and Profit, and Why I Am Not a Nominalist. There is also a link to a review of Sameness and Substance Renewed, but for now it just brings up one of the more amusing 404 errors you’re likely to see. (If you’re geekily amused, that is.) There are also book-length manuscripts by Ken Safir and Gregory Carlson posted, the latter via semantics etc.

I hope the Ned Kelly film gets released in America, or is still showing when I next make it to Australia. I liked this little description of the attraction of the Kelly story from Gregor Jordan, the movie’s director:

Jordan puts all this interest down to a multitude of factors, including the appeal of a strong and rebellious character standing up to corrupt officials. It is also a bizarre story, he says.

"These guys built themselves suits of armour out of ploughs and stood on the balcony in front of 200 policemen and opened fire. That’s kind of nuts."

Kind of?!
