I’d drafted a long post on doxastic voluntarism and stuff, only to find “this paper”:http://web.stcloudstate.edu/msteup/Doxastic%20Freedom.pdf by Matthias Steup that makes some of the same points. I think I disagree with him over a few points, especially concerning the response to Feldman, but I agree with a lot of what he says. Much much more on this tomorrow.

In the meantime, here’s a comic strip about “pig philosophy”:http://www.partiallyclips.com/index.php?id=1455 that’s pretty funny. If you click through the link you’ll find a whole bunch of funny comic strips, which is convenient if you’re looking for new ways to put off jobs that really need to be finished over the weekend.
