Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

Not sure if you are interested in the history of analytic philosophy, but I am doing a series of posts on this at the moment based on Stephen P. Schwartz’s A Brief History of Analytic Philosophy: from Russell to Rawls (2012) as a kind of prolegomena to methodology in economics.
ReplyDeleteI really would welcome comments or even severe criticisms to sharpen my knowledge of this subject:

I've been reading the series; I follow your blog fairly thoroughly. So far, you seem to know what you're talking about (at least as well as I do, and you (I think it was you) had some novel things to say about Quine), but, to be honest, I'm not yet convinced the topic is actually important. I kind of burned out on analytic philosophy as a collection of pseudoproblems.
