Philosophy in the Newspaper

I’d been loosely following the “Heart of Philosophy”:http://www.heartofphilosophy.com/about.html events through “Melbourne Philosopher”:http://melbournephilosopher.blogspot.com/2005/03/heart-of-philosophy-event-on-beauty.html but I was pretty surprised when I opened up the front page of “the newspaper”:http://theage.com.au today and saw a link to “an article on pub philosophy”:http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2005/03/08/1110160824974.html. When I was at Syracuse there was plenty of philosophy in the pub, well at least there were plenty of philosophers in pubs, but we never got talked about in the newspapers. I’m not sure what I’d think about the content at these events, but I’m pleased to see this level of interest in philosophy being generated and responded to.
