A nice aggregator of blogs dealing with OOO. It's only problem might be that a few blogs are pretty prolific and don't only deal with philosophy.

Sherlock Holmes and mathematics. The recent movie, not the books.
#
Do you really learn from lectures? (I never did – I have much preferred the professors just hand out their lectures)
#
What can neuroscience teach us about evil? My favorite bit, Will Wilkinson says that the recent Slate article “confirms my impression that neuroscientists think the ability to fabricate colorful and misleading technicolor pictures of brains license them to philosophize with impunity.”
#
Heidegger, realism, and OOO Very nice post. I'm still working through Harman. I favor the "hyper-realist" readings of Derrida and Heidegger regardless of whether they are the thinkers own. The too speculative nature of OOO makes me pretty uncomfortable though.
#
Chris H. has a blog up on theory, culture and Mormonism. We're ideologically pretty separated (he's a liberal, I'm conservative, he's a neo-Kantian of sorts ethically whereas probably Levinas and Derrida come closest to my ethical views to the degree I have any) Still I always enjoy my discussions with him.
#
Russell Fox responds to that hack job on Mormons in Harper's. Also a response at the Deseret News.
#
Only 15% of scientists at major universities think there is a conflict between science and religion. I'm actually surprised it's that low. I guess the New Atheists have been less persuasive than it appeared. More surprising was that a majority saw both science and religion as "valid avenues of knowledge."
#
More on faster than light neutrinos from the ever wonderful xkcd.
#
Scientists can now safely sequence the genome of a fetus. Should they? I'd say yes but I can understand why some anti-abortion people might disagree. It's interesting since we chose not to get the Down Syndrome test on our children since of course we'd not abort had we discovered the disorder.

OOO Aggregator

A nice aggregator of blogs dealing with OOO. It’s only problem might be that a few blogs are pretty prolific and don’t only deal with philosophy.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes and mathematics. The recent movie, not the books.

Lectures Not Learning

Do you really learn from lectures? (I never did – I have much preferred the professors just hand out their lectures)

Neuroscience and Evil

What can neuroscience teach us about evil? My favorite bit, Will Wilkinson says that the recent Slate article “confirms my impression that neuroscientists think the ability to fabricate colorful and misleading technicolor pictures of brains license them to philosophize with impunity.”

Heidegger and OOO

Heidegger, realism, and OOO Very nice post. I’m still working through Harman. I favor the “hyper-realist” readings of Derrida and Heidegger regardless of whether they are the thinkers own. The too speculative nature of OOO makes me pretty uncomfortable though.

Approaching Justice

Chris H. has a blog up on theory, culture and Mormonism. We’re ideologically pretty separated (he’s a liberal, I’m conservative, he’s a neo-Kantian of sorts ethically whereas probably Levinas and Derrida come closest to my ethical views to the degree I have any) Still I always enjoy my discussions with him.

Russell Fox Responds

Russell Fox responds to that hack job on Mormons in Harper’s. Also a response at the Deseret News.

Science and Religion Conflict?

Only 15% of scientists at major universities think there is a conflict between science and religion. I’m actually surprised it’s that low. I guess the New Atheists have been less persuasive than it appeared. More surprising was that a majority saw both science and religion as “valid avenues of knowledge.”

More FTL Neutrinos

More on faster than light neutrinos from the ever wonderful xkcd.

Scientists Safely Can Sequence Fetus DNA

Scientists can now safely sequence the genome of a fetus. Should they? I’d say yes but I can understand why some anti-abortion people might disagree. It’s interesting since we chose not to get the Down Syndrome test on our children since of course we’d not abort had we discovered the disorder.

Americans Overreport Church Attendance

Americans over-report church attendance. (Linked to in the comments to one of Razib’s posts) It’s from a year ago but was interesting I thought you folks might like it. This issue of the difference between what one does and self-reporting is a constant one to keep in mind when evaluating certain polls.

FTL Neutrinos?

Faster than light neutrinos discovered? I’m betting this doesn’t pan out on further investigation.

Nietzsche Family Circus

The Nietzsche Family Circus.

Democracy of Objects

Levi’s Democracy of Objects is available online as HTML. A PDF version is supposed to follow soon. I’ve not read it yet (still working on Harman’s books).

Early Journals in JSTOR

Early journals now available for free on JSTOR. You might remember the controversy about JSTOR and old documents from a few months back.
