The Hopeless Generalist: A Possibly Final Post on Mercy
http://hopelessgeneralist.blogspot.com/2013/06/in-previous-posts-here-here-and-here.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. A Possibly Final Post on Mercy. In previous posts ( here. Permitted instead of what the judge believes. Yet, as noted in those prior posts, every account of mercy that can be found in the relatively contemporary literature fails to take such considerations into account. All of them turn on questions of what is actually permitted by some standard or other, and none of them turn at all on what the agent believes about his situation or the permissions that apply.

The Hopeless Generalist: September 2013

They are truths we can arrive at through purely naturalistic means.). To refute him, and. Will be judged by third party who is actually a critic of Harris's position. So there's a reason to write up a response after all! 8230;the argument ...

Thursday, July 11, 2013. The game is currently titled Soldier, Merchant, Priest. It is a quick, light, vaguely medieval-to-renaissance themed card game using a non-standard deck. It contains elements of bluffing, betting and trick-taking. I think. The game actually works, but as you can imagine it is difficult to evaluate a game like this on my own. I can't bluff myself. You can read the rules here. Or download them here. I'll very briefly describe the game as follows. Get some friends together and try i...

http://hopelessgeneralist.blogspot.com/2013/09/peace-is-war-review-of-board-game.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Peace is War: A Review of the Board Game Tokaido. Let's take a moment first to examine the game components:. You can tell by looking. This. Is a peaceful game. A nice game. A relaxed game. As reported by many other reviewers, the game has a benevolent, Zen-like aura. No one is angry. No one is excited. We are all simply enjoying ourselves. The theme and mechanics reinforce this. The game is about travelling along the Tokaido road (this is redundant! When it is your turn (an...

http://hopelessgeneralist.blogspot.com/2013/09/was-doubting-thomas-supposed-to-be.html
Friday, September 6, 2013. Was “Doubting Thomas” Supposed to be Credulous Instead? It’s been a while since I last posted, in part due to the beginning of the school year, and in part due to my prioritizing of work on a paper on the analysis of mercy. (See previous entries here. I don’t expect a view like this to convince a non-Christian that there’s something to Christianity. And I only mention that. Recall the famous story. Several disciples told Thomas they’d spoken with Jesus after Jesus had...I want ...
