I notice that the three very brief prefaces to the first issues comprising volume of EPISTEME has now been made available on the EUP website. They give a sense as to what was on Chris’ and my mind at the time. How quickly the time seems to have passed: the Journal is about to enter it’s…
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).

Here is a post on John Wilkins’ Evolving Thoughts bog that picks up on Sahotra Sarkar’s review of Steve Fuller’s latest book in the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews. The conflict between Fuller and his critics is sure run and run with ever increasing bitterness. A minor point. Sarkar writes that: “He [Fuller] is widely credited…
I’ve had several requests to make this recent article available despite it still being freely available on the Forbes site (I know there have been some annoying pop-up advertisement windows.)
