Crispin's New Research Program

The Northern Institute of Philosophy now exists. This is the new research program directed by Crispin Wright. The structure and mission of the program is outlined on the website, and will include the launching of a new journal, provisionally titled The Northern Light, that will specialize in short sharply focused papers.

PhilPapers

An incredible resource for published and unpublished online philosophy papers was just made public by Dave Chalmers at the Centre for Consciousness. Having had the opportunity to test drive PhilPapers before the launch, I can say without hesitation that it is by far the best resource we have in our field for tracking the most recent and not so recent papers in any area of philosophy. More info on Dave's blog.

Epistemology: 5 Questions

Vincent Hendricks and Duncan Pritchard just published a really fun book of interviews with leading epistemologists. It's called Epistemology: 5 Questions. Here are the 5 questions:

  • Why were you initially drawn to epistemology (and what keeps you interested)?
  • What do you see as being your main contributions to epistemology?
  • What do you think is the proper role of epistemology in relation to other areas of philosophy and other academic disciplines?
  • What do you consider to be the most neglected topics and/or contributions in contemporary epistemology?
  • What do you think the future of epistemology will (or should) hold?
