Papers Blog – April 10

The “papers blog”:http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Philosophy/Opp/ is up, with papers on _only_ and Dworkin on hard cases. It seems these links to the papers blog lead to another 100 or so hits, so maybe I should keep posting them.

The “journals survey”:http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Philosophy/homepages/weatherson/journals/Journals_Survey.htm is ticking along nicely, with nearly 100 votes so far. That’s about as many as I expected, but a few fewer than I’d hoped for. I’m stunned/disappointed with how few votes we’ve had so far from women, as well as from philosophers over 40. Right now it’s basically a survey of what under-40 male philosophers think, which is not the _most_ interesting thing in the world. There are some interesting demographic splits within that group, as well as a slightly unexpected leader in the overall ranking, but I’d like a broader group of voters. I’d still like to get 150 to 200 votes, so if you haven’t voted early, vote anyway!

Lots more to blog about but I’ve been swamped with house-buying paperwork this week, so other obligations are pressing. Maybe more tomorrow.
