Links Time

In between figuring out which students have written their own papers, and grading the ones who have, there has been less blogging than ideal. So here are a few links to keep things going.

* Kai von Fintel and David Beaver are starting up a new journal, _Semantics and Pragmatics_, and it has “a blog”:http://www.semantics-online.org/sp/. The journal will be open access and online, and it is well and truly worth supporting. I was thinking of developing a policy of submitting all non-solicited papers (if I ever write such a thing again) to “Philosophers’ Imprint”:http://www.philosophersimprint.org/index.html, out of general support for open access principles. But perhaps the right policy is a more general support for open access.
* Speaking of the Imprint, Alexander George has a “very interesting paper”:http://www.philosophersimprint.org/007002/ on the relevance of a very surprising mathematical result to the traditional problem of induction.
* Philosophy Compass is sponsoring the “online philosophy conference”:http://experimentalphilosophy.typepad.com/2nd_annual_online_philoso/, which is now on. One of my big plans for the future is real-time online philosophy conferences. But right now that’s vaporware – this is the cutting edge as far as virtual conferences go.
* As part of the sponsopship deal, Compass is providing free access to several Compass articles. These include: Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra, “Truthmakers”, Karen Bennett, “Mental Causation”, Mandy Simons, “Foundational Issues in Presupposition”, Ron Mallon, “A Field Guide to Social Construction” and W.J. Waluchow, “Judicial Review”
* Back in meatspace, Indiana is holding a “conference on agency”:http://www.indiana.edu/~agenresp/ in September.
