		<title>The Weak Man Fallacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is paranoia and militancy the core of the Tea Party Movement? In the context of my recent foray into the Tea Party movement, I&#8217;ve been thinking recently about fallacies and bad critical thinking in the public sphere. My friend Robert Talisse has an article with Scott Aikin that I think all philosophers should read. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tea Party Follow-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after my last Tea Party post, I&#8217;ve been trying to track down more information about the movement. One interview does not an investigation make. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve dug up:

Evan pointed me to The Next Right. Not the Tea Party, but a similar attempt to reconstitute the conservative party around less jingoistic and racist ideals.

		<title>Creative Philanthrophy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What would you do with $100 and a case of altruism? How about giving away umbrellas during a rainstorm:
David Ibnale had no idea how tough it would be to give away umbrellas on Market Street the other day. He figured that he and his free umbrellas were going to change the world. The world had other [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tea Party Movement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times&#8217; article on Tea Party &#8216;founder&#8217; Keli Carender, struck me as an interesting corrective to much of the treatment of the movement as either a Fox News &#8217;stunt&#8217; or a wing of the Republican Party run by the same old white men with a few token non-males and non-whites. Carendar is apparently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Badiou on the &#8216;communist hypothesis&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Infinite Th0ught offers this op-ed by Alain Badiou:
The living proof that our societies are obviously in-human is today the foreign undocumented worker: he is the sign, immanent to our situation, that there is only one world. To treat the foreign proletarian as though he came from another world, that is indeed the specific task of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinking about Procreative Rights and Duties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are commonly understood to have a right to procreate. For instance, it is a clear violation of that right to coercively sterilize those judged unfit. However, there is some question whether this right includes the right to assistive reproductive technologies, and whether it is defeasible in any circumstances, i.e. whether we have a corresponding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mansfield on Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Generally, I respect Harvey C. Mansfield&#8217;s work on classical political theory, and think his attempts at contemporary cultural and political criticism are absurdly small-minded. His piece in The Weekly Standard on Obama&#8217;s non-partisanship is a mixture of the good Mansfield and the bad Mansfield, so I recommend it to fans of ambivalence. Here are some [...]]]></description>

		<title>How NOT To Do Law, Philosophy, and Neuroscience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just returned from the Understanding Humans through Neuroscience conference at the American Enterprise Institute, where I heard papers by Roger Scruton, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, and Stephen Morse. What struck me was how mired the three papers were in defending against a certain kind of agency-undermining determinism that few people take seriously any more. All of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Citizens United v. FEC: Yes, corporations are people, too.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s get the jokes out of the way:

&#8220;If corporations are people, do they get to vote?&#8221;
&#8220;If corporations are people, can we start incarcerating them when they commit crimes?&#8221;
&#8220;Does this mean I can marry my bank?&#8221;
&#8220;Does charging a fee for incorporation constitute an unconstitutional violation of their reproductive rights?&#8221;
&#8220;Thank God we&#8217;ve finally ended the scourge of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shakespeare&#8217;s Sister</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The concluding paragraph of Virginia Woolf&#8217;s A Room of One&#8217;s Own kinda gives me chills sometimes:
For my belief is that if we live another century or so—I am talking of the common life which is the real life and not of the little separate lives which we live as individuals—and have five hundred a year [...]]]></description>
