How I Am Spending My Spring Vacation

Posted on

First, I am nearly done with my book on epistemology, which has been nearly thirty years in the making. An advance copy is now being read by colleagues. Here is a draft of the cover.

Second Chance for Rural America with COVID-19

Posted on

The best article I have read on the COVID-19 pandemic is An Epistemic Crisis, by Jeffrey A. Tucker, on the website of the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), an eminent pro-freedom think tank.

“I am Married … to a Woman”

Posted on

I have resisted blogging on the notion of ‘same-sex marriage’, because the issue seemed beneath the dignity of my blog.
