The first main version took off on 4 May 2004. To be exact, total pageviews at the moment are 2,000,523. That averages to 1161.74 per day with recent averages well…

After Aristotle
The proprietor and author of the weblog After Aristotle writes, Having retired after decades as an academician in various capacities, both administrative and professorial, at a small college in Massachusetts, I am dedicating the next three decades or so of my life to the fullest exploration possible of all that philosophy has to offer. Bravo! Wise move. …

Year Ten Begins: In Praise of Blogosophy
Today I begin my tenth year as a 'blogosopher.' Traffic is good: rare is the day when the page view count drops below 1200, and there are numerous surge days above 2000. I'm in this game 'for the duration,' as they say: as long as health and eyesight hold out. In Praise of Blogosophy Philosophy is…

The Joy of Blog
Blogging attracts the like-minded, some of whom one meets face-to-face. Sunday's breakfast has long since passed through the mortal coil, but I am still digesting the thoughts and insights of Peter and Steven. I would never have met these wonderful people had it not been for this weblog. You bait your hook and cast your line…

The Conservative Sociologist
'Conservative sociologist' smacks of an oxymoron, does it not? So just for fun this morning I typed the phrase into my search engine of choice and was directed to The Conservative Sociologist where I encountered the graphic below. The proprietor of the site is of the female persuasion. We need more distaff bloggers, though not a federal…

High-Level Self-Denial
Going to the mat of meditation at the appointed time when the caffeine-induced riot of thoughts clamors for blogic expression.

One Thing You Won’t Blog About
Nothing is not fodder for the omniloquacious blogger. Nothing but one thing: his being dead.

Not MavPhil Material
'Heisse Lisa' left a self-promoting junk comment that I promptly deleted. If you call yourself 'Hot Lisa' or 'Shithead,' that by itself is grounds for banishment. A little self-deprecation is good, but if you announce by your handle that your skull is feculent, then you demonstrate thereby that you are not MavPhil material. Related articles The…

2606 Pageviews at 5:55 A.M.?
I don't get it. Ostrich nominalism is not that hot a topic. By the way, my ComBox is not for your self-promotion. Try it, and you will have wasted your time. Comment moderation is on, and I have an itchy 'delete finger.' Trackbacks are off. What a worthless utility that turned out to be.

How to Read an Online Article Without Distraction
I thank long-time blogger buddy Bill Keezer for pointing out something that should have been obvious. To read an online article at a money-grubbing site such as NRO, a site awash with advertising, moving images, noise, and what all else, click on the 'print' icon. The article should appear without the junk. But you knew…

Traffic Surge
Today I received 4845 page views. Yesterday's tally was 2659. Why the surge? I have no idea. I don't reckon there's a whole lot of interest in constituent ontology out there in cyberland. But I do humbly thank all and sundry, human and robotic, for their kind patronage.

Long-Time MavPhil Commenter, Robert V. Koepp, Passes Away at 60
I was saddened to hear from Malcolm Pollack just now that Bob Koepp, who commented extensively at both our sites, died on 29 February of this year. Ever the gentleman, Bob contributed to the discussions at the old Powerblogs site and here at the Typepad incarnation of MavPhil. He had an M. A. in philosophy and studied…
