Some great posts in bloggerland that I’d like to point out for your enjoyment:
First, in local color (and not related to philosophy), Curmudgeon & company continue to take on “the man” in their latest post on the “Ice Tower,” or what the contributors of the blog like to call “the Fortress of Mayoral Ego.” Sometimes the posts can be short on arguments and high on mudslinging, but they’re always enlightening about the concerns of Weber County’s most vocal citizens (here).
Now, to the more interesting stuff, philosophy:
Brandon, of Siris, (and others as he points out in his post) has an interesting post (here) on the analytic/continental philosophical divide, and he gives some reasons for thinking the divide is ill-conceived.
Tanasije, of A Brood Comb, has two interesting posts that attempt to resolves the mind-body problem here and here.
Clark, of Mormon Metaphysics, has a fascinating post on the FLDS Church free will, age, and Mary (here). The post has garnered much attention from the blogosphere and comments seem to have flooded in.
Clayton, of Think Tonk, has a brief post about “ordinary” knowledge (here), and it appears that he will soon post on “ordinary permissibility.
Matt, of Opinatrety, returns from the blogging dead (welcome back Matt) with this little contribution on the past tense of “cheerlead” (here).
In Socrates Wake has a nice post by Nathan about the problem of offering too much extra credit to students (here).
If I’ve missed some good posts, add’em to the comments. I’m always looking for some good reading!
