Bloggage

Had some good discussion with Jeremy Fantl and Matt McGrath concerning interest relativism over at Certain Doubts recently. I give my favorite counter-example to knowledge-action principles and discuss the nature of practical reasons.

Also been discussing naturalism and explanation over on Prosblogion. Naturalists got some 'splainin' to do.

A great first year at Baylor!

Well, I stopped blogging a few months before I went on the job market last year. You can't be too careful about these things, as words can be taken very differently than they are intended. I figured it best to park that action for awhile, and, after all, it was an extremely busy time.

Speaking of extremely busy, my first year at Baylor was filled with such great times and such an active conference schedule--thanks to Baylor's generous funding--that I continued not-blogging through the academic year.

Well, I'm booked solid till March of 2011, so if I'm ever going to blog again, I'm going to have to say "damn the schedule, get 'er done!"

Mostly this blog will be a record of what I blog at Certain Doubts and Prosblogion, but I'll sometimes put up less polished stuff here.

See ya round.

It's good to be back...


Last week I was at the Oberlin Colloquium, which was great, and then went straight to the PEW (Pragmatic Epistemology Workshop) on the beach, which I co-organized (I was really more of a mascot) with Ted Poston.

It was a great time talking with Mark Kaplan, Matt McGrath, Jeremy Fantl, Jennifer Nagel, Juan Comesana, Richard Fumerton, and Jon Kvanvig, all people who know a lot about something I'm very interested in.

I got some great feedback, which I posted about here on Certain Doubts.

I plan to return to blogging more this summer.
