The Philosophers Magazine has an article entitled “The Spotlight Falls on Bright Young Thing,” a profile of EPISTEME Associate Editor Christian List (Issue 42, pp. 7-8).

Grayling’s position is very predictable but credit to him and the editors for bringing together a diverse group who for the most part seem to disagree with his conception.
