Squawks

A few quick links while worrying (even more) about global warming as a result of yesterday’s US elections:

  • Gil Harman and Ernie Lepore are doing an “NEH Summer Seminar on Quine and Davidson”:http://www.princeton.edu/~harman/NEH/. Their course on Quine and Davidson a couple of years ago was great, so this is highly recommended.
  • On a similar theme (sort of), Dean Zimmerman and Michael Rota are doing a “Seminar
    in Philosophy of Religion and Philosophical Theology”:http://www.stthomas.edu/philosophy/templeton/project.html at St. Thomas.
  • I support Catarina Dutilh Novaes’s Gendered Conference Campaign.
  • It was surprising to see Judy Thomson’s picture on a “front page NY Times article”:http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/31/philosophers-through-the-lens/?ref=opinion, but she does look like a paradigmatic philosopher.
  • I’m really looking forward to the “The Key of Sea”:http://www.keyofsea.com.au/ record, and it is for a great cause too.
  • The new “Philosophy Compass”:http://philosophy-compass.com/ site is much more user-friendly than the old one I think. And there are lots of articles I should write up here soon.
  • I’m planning to write a book.
  • Though it might take second priority to something else that just happened.
