AnalPhilosopher

“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

Dissecting Leftism

I have many reasons for admiring Dr John J. Ray, but foremost among them is that his partisanship (he's a conservative) is bounded. John would never contradict himself for his cause; he would never misrepresent things for advantage; and, most importantly, he's fair. I think John is all these things because he's an academic, or perhaps he became an academic because he is all these things. It doesn't matter which came first; they go together. Thanks, John, for serving as such a good model. I hope you have lots of young readers.
