. . . is here. I encourage everyone to partake.
I’m in the background of the Ernest Sosa video. Whenever it cuts to the audience, I’m slouched down between two people’s shoulders wearing a navy blue hat with a gold “M” on it (I was born in Michigan; still a fan).
In an attempt to inspire me to post more stuff on this blog (and, of course, to showcase some fine online philosophizing), I’m hosting a Philosophers’ Carnival. The festivities will be on Monday, June 4th. If you’d like me to feature something you’ve written, please submit it via this online submission form.
I’m not really looking for anything in particular, although I am of the mindset that certain conceptions of “philosophy” are more interesting to students and teachers of philosophy than others. You might have written an exceptionally insightful haiku, for instance, but it won’t be featured here. I’ll probably be dividing submissions up according to the area of philosophy to which they most clearly belong, so you might keep this in mind when deciding what to submit.
The most recent Philosophers’ Carnival can be found here.
I just got a book in the mail today entitled PRO EVO and subtitled Pro Evolution — Guideline for an Age of Joy. It’s unclear who the author is (at the top of the front cover is the word “Tomotom,” and at the bottom of the front cover is the word “Asama”). It’s copyrighted to one “Tomotom Stiftung.”
It appears to be a new-agey kind of evolutionist-meets-Eastern-religious-thought sort of book. Browsing through the Table of Contents, I saw that it’s got a blurb on “Morality.” Here’s the blurb:
Morality is man’s conscious pro-evo behavior toward his own body, toward his fellow men, and toward animals, plants, and the natural environment.
And that’s that.
Anyone else received a copy of this book? And does anyone happen to know anything more about it?
