While I have some internet access via my GF (another fortnight! Is this the third world?) I will mention this paper in Evolution: Education and Outreach, on teaching about species. It’s a standard received view version, complete with Plato and all those logicians being read as if they were talking about biological species. Nothing all that deep. [Hat tip Richard Carter]
Enjoy tomorrow’s conspicuous consumption. They way things are going, we may not be able to do this for very many more years…
Did I inform you about that paper? Or did you see it in my shared Google Reader items? I just don’t recall sending you the link…
Sorry, I got confused again. I fixed it (not that I don’t read your blog assiduously!)
Cool…I can use this paper in my current class. Sometimes it’s good to get back to basics.
Be careful. The historical basics are wrong, and I’m not happy about the metaphysics much, either…
When was a philosopher ever happy about somebody elses metaphysics?
I’m relatively fond of Locke’s…
Why doesn’t that surprise me?
