Michael Bench-Capon's Blog: Ripped at the seems

http://michaelbenchcapon.blogspot.com/2014/09/ripped-at-seems.html

Thursday, September 25, 2014. Ripped at the seems. I don’t often have ideas about epistemology. Longtime readers may remember me talking about epistemic virtues of personal concern. And for a while I misguidedly tried to push the idea that Gettier was wrong about knowledge not being justified true belief. Recently though, I was listening to Peter Adamson’s excellent podcast series on the history of philosophy. Not to be happening, right? If P&Q seems to be true, does that mean P seems to be true as well?

Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part I: On Some Projected Demonstrations | Transcissions

Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part II: Contradiction and Realism →. Meillassoux and Dialetheism Part I: On Some Projected Demonstrations. In my previous post. I mentioned that the dialetheism proffered by Graham Priest should be of concern to the Meillassouxian position. I want to continue exploring this angle in a few posts, bear in mind that while I will attempt to draw some radical conclusions, they should be considered as transcissions rather than as finished products.). After taking into account parac...

Michael Bench-Capon's Blog: Change your life now, stupid

http://michaelbenchcapon.blogspot.com/2014/11/change-your-life-now-stupid.html

Thursday, November 6, 2014. Change your life now, stupid. There’s a certain kind of atheist who doesn’t have a lot of sympathy for religious folk. They either read or write books by people like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, they call themselves sceptics or rationalists or humanists depending on how closely they follow the trends, and they basically think religious people are being silly. So if I can do it, why can’t everyone? You’d save the life of a child drowning in front ...

Omnis affirmatio est negatio. Wherein I do both at once. July 29, 2011. David Lewis on Philosophical Method. Once the menu of well-worked-out theories is before us, philosophy is a matter of opinion. Is that to say that there is no truth to be had? Or that the truth is of our own making, and different ones of us can make it differently? David Lewis, Philosophical Papers Vol. 1.

Omnis affirmatio est negatio. Wherein I do both at once. January 30, 2011. Judith Jarvis Thomson on Normativity. Some seriously clever stuff. I was impressed enough to order the book. Of which you can find a summary of some main ideas here. This entry was posted in Ethics. One thought on “ Judith Jarvis Thomson on Normativity. February 11, 2011 at 15:34. I think it’s pretty clear that humans are not the sort of thing that has any objective purpose so I’m not too impressed with her argument. Arpruss on Th...

Michael Bench-Capon's Blog: Famine, affluence, and psychopathy

http://michaelbenchcapon.blogspot.com/2012/03/famine-affluence-and-psychopathy.html

Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Famine, affluence, and psychopathy. I recently read Jon Ronson’s The Psychopath Test. Reading a Jon Ronson book tends not to make you an expert on anything, but it did get me thinking. Many of my readers are probably familiar with Peter Singer’s paper ‘Famine, Affluence, and Morality’. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Famine, affluence, and psychopathy. Most popular this week. Your defence of the Oxford comma sucks. The homogeneous spinning disc. Are Nato the bad guys?

Omnis affirmatio est negatio. Wherein I do both at once. November 11, 2011. I had no idea. But this is just horrific. Feel free to share it if you have the same sense of disgust and distress in realizing that some fellow humans condone this barbarity. This entry was posted in Ethics. 4 thoughts on “ I had no idea.
