Links and Stuff

Brian Leiter has the annual “junior jobs post”:http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2007/02/tenuretrack_hir.html up, as well as an interesting thread on “negotiating better offers”:http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2007/02/negotiating_a_j.html#comments.

Acer Nethercott sent along an interesting story about “teaching philosophy to youngsters in Scotland”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6330631.stm. I’ve never been too confident of the utility of getting four year olds to worry about sceptical possibilities, but it looks like this program has long-term value.

And while I don’t have a link for this, this week’s TLS features reviews of two Australian philosophy books, Daniel Stoljar’s _Ignorance and Imagination_ and Graham Oppy’s _Philosophical Perspectives on Infinity_.
