Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Nagel Again

I chose not to waste any words on the Leiter-Weisberg review of Thomas Nagel's 2012 Mind and Cosmos.  Keith Burgess-Jackson discusses it here, and links to Ed Feser's  critique:

Ed Feser criticizes the Leiter-Weisberg review. In reading Feser's critique, one grasps the utter shallowness of Leiter and Weisberg. They know just enough philosophy to be dangerous. They're drive-by philosophers! 

Nagel is the real thing.  Brian Leiter is a status-obsessed careerist and leftist ideologue.  Leiter should show more respect for his elders and betters.  I do admit, however, that Leiter's is the premier academic gossip site in the whole of the philososphere.
