What philosophical books is everyone reading these days, outside of class? I just finished Kugel’s How to Read the Bible (very interesting; I’ll post about it soon on huenemanniac); am about to start Everything Must Go by Ladyman and Ross; and am midway through Nadler’s The Best of All Possible Worlds.

Just for fun.

Students — you are strongly encouraged to attend. The topics of the papers are quite varied, and there probably is something that will interest you. This conference is very informal, aimed primarily at helping philosophers in the general area to get to know one another. So show up, get stimulated, and get involved in some philosophical discussion.

Plus, free drinks and cookies.

Apply for this scholarship, if you meet the criteria. It definitely should go to a Philosophy major!

Here it is, from the pen of the inimitable Harry Caines. I cannot resist recording a few of my disagreements: phil majors don’t resemble Comic Book Guy, anthropogenic global warming is no myth, and I’m no Zen Humanist (I’m just a timid smartass). But as for Harry’s thesis, that we should have more philosophers in the program: “Yea-Yuh!” I bray.
