Five (5) bits of info and/or reminders for you this week:
* PLEASE VOTE BY FRIDAY on the survey to the right, if you want to have a voice in scheduling the pizza party/panel.
* Your blogwork for this week is identical in form to last week's: remember that the deadline to post is SUNDAY 17 JAN, 11:59 PM.
* The due date for draft #2 of the Philosophy Slam! essay is IN CLASS on Friday. Please type.
* A philosophically controversial item in the news, about which you may wish to ponder: the issue of indefinite civil confinement. In a nutshell: should governments have the authority to keep a person confined even after serving his/her sentence? Read and/or listen here.
*Yet another philosophically interesting item which might be potential fodder for your Blogwork this week: understanding Mark McGwire's apology for steroid use through existentialist ethics. (Be warned: this article was written by a philosophy graduate student, so contains a bit of jargon. But this is familiar material, so it may still be intelligible :-)
