Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

World Philosophy Day

Seldom Seen Slim apprised me of the fact that today is World Philosophy Day.  BBC story here.  I got a kick out of this:

As Princeton philosopher David Lewis once said: "When philosophers follow where argument leads, too often they are led to doctrines indistinguishable from sheer lunacy."

This from a philosopher whose mad dog modal realism is itself hard by the boundary of lunacy.  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
