Local Philosophy News!


Hey everybody - I was just talking with two of my colleagues in the philosophy department at MCLA who've just published a book together. They're going to be doing a reading of the book at the Water Street Grill on October 15 in the evening.


More details to follow; but the proprietor of the venue was interested in inviting interested high school students for the audience. It's a really accessible book they'll be reading (translation: no jargon!). Both authors are former profs of mine, and have become good friends - plus they're smart philosophers. Save the date!
