Duffy on Postmodernism and Mormon Apologetics
In the other thread we ended up discussing Duffy’s “Can Deconstruction Save the Day? ‘Faithful Scholarship’ and the Uses of Postmodernism” that was in Dialogue last spring. I’d not looked at the paper since late last spring and didn’t recall it that well. But I finally got a copy and wanted to make a few [...]
Blog Upgraded
Hey, the blog upgrade is complete. I’m still tweaking a few things. So if something odd happens, forgive me. Basically I’m on a server that is considerably less flakey, has better bandwidth and so forth. So I’m pretty happy.
Incorporeal
Phenomenology of the Incorporeal.
A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs
OK, I love this paper of Davidson. I really liked Davidson before but this one completely made me rethink how I view him. Which is always nice. In a sense this brings Davidson a little closer to how I think. That’s sometimes a danger since I prefer something that challenges how I think. But in [...]
DesNews
Deseret News bucking national newspaper trend Canon was controversial when taking over but for him to increase subscriptions in a two paper down with a relatively small population is frankly amazing.
Land War
A land war in Missouri. I keep waiting for the book on the Mormon Missouri experience that really contextualizes it by analyzing Missouri prior to and after the Mormons were there. The issue of cheap land is but one of the contexts often overlooked.
Ehrman
Bart Ehrman, Biblical Criticism and Mormons Also check out this PDF of Did the Bible Misquote Jesus Debate Ehrman was in. (HT: FPR)
Happiness
Is happiness univocal? Good post by Brandon I completely agree with. One reason why I find self-reporting of happiness so problematic.
Media and Science
When vital research is misreported, the credibility of both science and journalism suffer. Does media needs the same kind of tough regulation that scientists face? Rather provocative essay even though I disagree. That said, headliner writers are horrible.
Peirce Blog
There’s a new Peirce oriented blog put together by many people from Peirce-L. The Peirce Blog. I’m a contributor although I don’t know how much time I’ll have to add much. (I can barely update this blog)
Autonomy
The eight senses of autonomy
Pros and Cons
The Pros and Cons of academic blogging. One not listed but important is that many people don’t want to appear an idiot for presenting half baked ideas. To me that’s the benefit of blogging. I think you learn more when you don’t mind appearing idiotic. But in an academic setting I can see how that [...]
Carnival
Latest Philosopher’s Carnival. I’ll probably do a post later.
Plato
There’s a new book on Plato available online. (Big PDF) Approaching Plato: A Guide to the Early and Middle Dialogues. (HT: Maverick Philosopher) Looks quite good.
Mele
Mele’s new book Effective Intentions: The Power of Conscious Will is finally out. While Mele isn’t quite as engaging in writing style as say Fischer, his content always makes me think – often making me reconsider positions.
