The elephant in the higher education room
This article and this article are two recent pieces that express distress at the current promotion of STEM fields in American discourse. The piece by Christopher Scalia specifically calls out conservatives (he regards himself as a conservative) for their over-emphasis...

I May Not Be A Philosophy Professor, But I Know Bad Philosophical Arguments When I See Them
I couldn’t let this pass without a quick notice. Here we have the academic philosopher (Notre Dame Endowed Chair in Philosophy) Gary Gutting, writing at the New York Times, decides to tackle the question of the Catholic Church’s ban on...

Medicine depends on axiology
I got thinking about Jake's post below concerning "is" and "ought," science, and language while cooking pork chops last night. (The pork chops have nothing to do with this post. They're thrown in only to show that this really was...

Teaching about bad philosophy without making the heinous mainstream
In putting together my last post, I was beguiled into rereading some ancient (almost three years' old) W4 history in the form of the comments on one of my posts about infanticidal ethics. You see, I had chortled a bit...

The zero-sum game: We don't want no stinkin' discussion
A friend recently alerted me to this flap. In brief: At Marquette University, a university in the Jesuit tradition (ahem), a philosophy grad TA recently hushed up a student who advocated the traditional side on the issue of homosexual "marriage."...

God and Time: relational facts are not illusions
I've been having a discussion of the meaty topic of God and time on Facebook recently. Some philosophers (in this context, we were discussing the views of William Lane Craig) have held that God is in time. One argument given...

Clinician or moralist?
A common censure of Adam Smith may be summed up hastily as follows. He, first and above all thinkers, effected a kind of narrowing of the lens of philosophy, to the exclusion of all those metaphysical and moral speculations...

Some philosophy of religion for your week
I've been doing a little debating over on Facebook recently regarding divine timelessness, and it seemed that W4 readers might like to get in on the discussion. My own position is the Boethian position--namely, that God is timeless, except insofar...

GO LEFT, YOUNG MAN! Kenneth W. Bickford NOVEMBER 13, 2012 A STRANGE COINCIDENCE HAS REVEALED ITSELF between our quadrennial presidential election and the coincident year’s gridiron grudge match between the L.S.U. and Alabama football teams. For three decades now—going back...

Is Free Enterprise Evil? Kenneth W. Bickford February 2012 Is free enterprise structurally evil? Does it guarantee goodness from its practitioners — or is it an impediment? I ask because Occupy Wall Street, that movement of folks angrily bent...

Weekend philosophy of religion fun: An indifferent creator?
Okay, Phil. of Rel. buffs, here's one for you to discuss. You can also lessen my ignorance of the literature (I'm often ignorant of the literature) on this topic. I've been thinking a bit lately about the Inductive Problem of...

Talbott on organism
The always challenging Steve Talbott continues his series of sophisticated and searching critiques of the materialism that rules science these days. This rulership he regards as illegitimate, a kind of mental despotism issuing in numerous blunders and follies and, off...

Divine timelessness
If you have a desire to read my rather amateurish defense of the Boethian view of divine timelessness against the criticism that God would, in that case, not know what it is like to listen to music, see here....

Just Like Social Democracy Blues
The meanderings of public discussion here at What’s Wrong with the World have recently turned on disputes over a pair of phrases — Social Darwinism and Social Democracy — that, though similar in appearance, in meaning exhibit a basic antagonism....

Mutual support and circularity
In the interview with Luke Muehlhauser, linked below, we got briefly into the subject of mutual support vis a vis the existence of God and miracles like the resurrection. The question, related to a debate my husband and I have...

Cella series on American Exceptionalism.

On This APA Business, Help Me Out
Presumably, not having attended graduate school, I exist in a shadowland of ignorance on these matters, hence the perplexity which leads to my inquiry. But suppose that I had attended graduate school, and had earned all of the requisite degrees,...

Pascal's Wager and dying to live
Pascal's Wager was much discussed at the FMER conference I've already reported on. I'm not myself a fan of Pascal's Wager for a number of reasons, the chief of which is that I have serious Cliffordian questions about the legitimacy...

Some recent philosophical work
Being an independent scholar in philosophy has as an advantage that one gets the fun of philosophy without the fuss of faculty meetings, but it does have the occasional disadvantage that no one knows much of what you're up to....

It's fine for God (and us) to push around molecules
I have no problem with God's pushing around molecules. I have no problem with finite persons' pushing around molecules. I have little patience with the odd tendency among some Christian writers and thinkers to try to find space for mind-body...

How to argue against Socialism.
Someone once wrote to ask a question jarring in its directness: How should we argue against Socialism? It is commonly supposed, of course, that the question of Socialism is a somewhat antique one. We’re past all that, you know; it’s...
