Anamnesis
We are writing to remind you of our new publication, Anamnesis: The Colorado College Journal of Philosophy. We have just established a website at this address:
We will accept submissions until February 1st, 2016. Submission guidelines can be found on our website. We hope you will print out the PDF of our Call for Papers (which can be downloaded from our website) and post it in your department. Please encourage your students to submit. We look forward to reading their papers.
Liquid Democracy?
Here’s an interesting idea: “Voters can either vote directly on issues, or they can delegate their voting power to delegates (i.e. representatives) who vote on their behalf. Delegation can be domain specific, which means that voters can delegate their voting power to different experts in different domains.” Read the longer article here.
Why the Iliad matters
Since so many of our students are also readers of classics, I thought they might be interested in this interview with Caroline Alexander, whose new edition of the Iliad is “saying something true about a dimension of our life that will always matter, and that dimension is mortality, and particularly mortality as it is most exposed, which is in times of war.” Read about or hear the interview here.
