Philosophy as a Way of Life: November 2011
http://philosophyasawayoflifebristol.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 November 2011. Ian and the Evil Wizard. While this story is my own work, in that it hasn’t come out of a p4c book, it does rely heavily on its influences. For the Evil Wizard, see the evil demon at the end of Descartes. First mediation. For the butterfly dream check Zhuangzi. 8220;I can’t prove it logically, but I just. 8221; is a sentence which logicians hate, and probably therefore why I like it so much. 8221; Proudly claimed the wizard. 8220;Can’t you tell what I’ve just done? Far away cow...

Gandhi and Pineapple Magazine: October 2011
http://gandhiandpineapple.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 18 October 2011. This slice of finest Science Infarction comes from the scalpel of Adam Jones. Plastic sturgeon to the northeast’s most important Hullywood film stars. Pics by Dan Preston of Rusty Cardboard. Imaginative observation was a luxury that no one present could afford. Had this not been the case, they might have noticed how the encouraging parents looked like they were cowering. The young family stood nervously in front of the AI node. The youngest girl could sense the tension in th...

Philosophy as a Way of Life: Alan Turing, the Terminator and Johnny Five walk into a bar...
http://philosophyasawayoflifebristol.blogspot.com/2013/07/alan-turing-terminator-and-johnny-five.html
Sunday, 21 July 2013. Alan Turing, the Terminator and Johnny Five walk into a bar. I chose to do something on artificial intelligence because it's a really good way of thinking about what human intelligence might be (more difficult to pin down than you think) and it's also good for issues around the person, what might constitute one and such. It also means that I can talk about films with robots in.]. Or trivial and stupid ( Daddy or chips? I started off with this one, but it was a bit rubbish. Well, one...

Gandhi and Pineapple Magazine: September 2011
http://gandhiandpineapple.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 September 2011. They say, almost weekly, that ‘a week is a long time in politics’ but when you look at the terms, preoccupations, neuroses and excuses used by politicians over the last 2,000 years it almost seems that those 104,000 weeks are actually comprised of no time at all. The ambiguous concept of the ‘Moral Collapse’ which is often bandied about will be exhumed and reburied by our resident hiphop classicist Lee Truman. 8220;O Tempora, O Mores.”. 8220;Oh What Times! Cicero d. 43 BC.

Philosophy as a Way of Life: February 2012
http://philosophyasawayoflifebristol.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 4 February 2012. Eudaimonia Daze 3: Debrief of Box of Truth. As part of my third appearance as the in-house philosopher for Happy Daze. I forwent my usual guise as Lady Philosophy to be some kind of failed door-to-door salesman, peddling a box of truth. The box was a real box. The truths were somewhat more questionable. The sight of a beardy weirdo in a rubbish suit, brandishing such a suspicious looking box led to many “whaaat’s in the boox, aaargh! I thought they were good for you.”. 8220;Nop...

Philosophy as a Way of Life: Game of Gnomes (Intro and Stimulus)
http://philosophyasawayoflifebristol.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-republic-of-gnomeia-intro-and.html
Thursday, 27 June 2013. Game of Gnomes (Intro and Stimulus). I once tried to do the republic experiment with some year 3s. It was a bit of a disaster, as I record here, but it did make me understand Plato a bit better. There's no such thing? Society is just us, a community, all of us, this country, a group, people. Political philosophy is partly about last week's talk of justice:. How do we make sure everyone gets what they deserve? And partly about organisation, I suppose. Everyone going around killing ...

Philosophy as a Way of Life: Feminism for Girls
http://philosophyasawayoflifebristol.blogspot.com/2013/07/feminism-for-girls.html
Wednesday, 31 July 2013. On the board I just wrote: " THIS IS A MAN'S WORLD. And waited for them to come in.]. The first was Cl who read it and turned away saying: " I'm leaving. That look of disgust is exactly the kind of feeling I want to channel! Firstly, I don't necessarily expect you to agree with the statement and secondly it could mean two different things. It could be saying that men do. Rule the world, or that they should. Do you see how they are different? So, who agrees that it is. But the Que...

Gandhi and Pineapple Magazine: July 2011
http://gandhiandpineapple.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 July 2011. Saint Lucy of Stanley Street. This is the third in a series of poems by Frank Marnell. Sourced for us in Liverpool by Joanna Eckersley. Has been an activist, now he is an artist. Frank is writing about things which he knows, but doesn't necessarily want to know. He drinks Guiness and takes walks. Storming the barricades of prejudice and hate. Putting to death Lucifer’s fascist regime. And loving me with her majesty. I love you Lucy of Stanley Street. Your justice and your truth.
