A fair attempt to make anaglyph depth-perception of a small sequence from the Pink Floyd – Live af Pompeii.

From ?- Women, Wollstonecraft & WealthFor those concerned with equality, wealth presents something of a two-edged sword. Or, to present a slightly better metaphor, a two-sided coin. In her Vindication of the Rights of Women Mary Wollstonecraft considers this coin. On the negative side of the coin, Wollstonecraft contends that a focus on wealth is harmful to both men and women.

- When I’m deadI’d just like it to be known that if anybody feels the urge to slag me off immediately after my death, or to attack my politics – which, of course, nobody will, since I’m hardly significant (but then neither was Chris Harman, albeit he was a ‘revolutionary’) – then I’d be delighted. I love the smell [...]
- Green Beliefs Protected and Philosophical Beliefs DefinedYou might have heard about the case of Tim Nicholson (Eco Employee wins bid to appeal) — in short, his views on climate change have been afforded much the same protection under Employment and Equality Regulations as religious beliefs. I was a little surprised to learn that ‘philosophical beliefs’ are protected in this way. Interestingly, […]
- The Eighth Deadly Sin: FastidiousnessEveryone knows about the seven deadly sins. The dire consequences that can result from them are well documented. Each is sufficient to send a soul to Hell for all eternity, and all lead to corruption and death. However, there is another sin that goes unnoticed in comparison with the Big Seven. I call it the [...]
- Copenhagen, ethics and economicsWith Copenhagen looming, I’m doing a lot of thinking about the moral demand for action on climate change. I wrote something about it here, saying that ethics should sometimes trump economics (Copenhagen is an opportunity for ethics to trump economics). It’s not as rigorous as a philosophy paper, but I think it makes a serious [...]
- When the Future Strikes BackImage by Getty Images via Daylife While watching the Colbert Report, I learned that two physicists have put forth the theory that the hypothetical Higgs boson particle might be so abhorrent to nature that creating it would cause a temporal backlash that would prevent such a vile spawning. This was put forth as an explanation why [...]
- Norman Levitt, Steve Fuller and Academic FailureNorman Levitt, scourge of postmodernism, and author of books such as Higher Superstition (with Paul Gross) and Prometheus Bedeviled, has died of heart failure aged 66. Steve Fuller, a British sociologist, responded to this sad news by writing an ‘obituary’ that was… well let us say ill-judged. For example: I believe that Levitt’s ultimate claim to fame [...] […]
- Plato’s WerewolfPut rather simply, a werewolf is a person who has the ability to transform from human form into wolf form (or a hybrid wolf-human form). The werewolf is typically cast as a monster whose taste for human flesh is exceeded only by the amount of fur that he (or she) sheds. Throughout the years, folks have [...]
- France & ScientologyImage via Wikipedia A French court recently convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud. The church is still allowed to operate in France, but has been warned to stay on “the correct side of the law.” The basis for this case is the fact that Scientologists use a electropsychometer or E-Meter, to “locate areas of spiritual duress [...] […]
- What keeps philosophers up at night?The New Scientist reports on questions that keep physicists up at night (Seven Questions). I’m struck by how philosophical the questions are. Why is there this sort of something rather than something else? How does complexity emerge from simplicity? What is the ultimate nature of reality? What are the epistemological limits of scientific enquiry? […]
