A tip of the hat to Dave Lull for pointing me to A guide to the 100 best blogs – part I. Maverick Philosopher makes the cut. See page 5. Excerpt:
Two good philosophy blogs make the point that this is a subject made for bloggery. Philosophy is arguing, and arguing is what bloggers and their readers do best — or at least a lot, in an obsessive-compulsive sort of way. Both are highly recommended if you fancy stepping out into an intellectual blizzard with, occasionally, real snow.
I will resist the temptation to comment except to thank Bryan Appleyard for his article and also the MP Commenter Corps. Without them this site would be much less interesting. I have a half-marathon to run today, but later I hope to respond to at least some of the recent comments.
Congratulations, Bill! The Times isn’t telling us anything we didn’t already know.
Yes… Congratulations! There are at least small justices in this world. Bill, your efforts to bring serious philosophical questions to the fore makes this new agora a very special place. Thanks are due and offered.
Not just on-line, in case you were wondering; the list was printed in the Culture supplement of the Sunday Times countrywide!
Thank you Malcolm and Bob. And thanks n–blog for informing me of that. I wasn’t sure whether I made the hardcopy Times.
Congratulations, Bill. You deserved this. May the publicity bring other excellent minds to this blog’s discussions.
