A few on Foucault – his association with “Queer Theory” means his name is mud amongst GC-Feminists, but don’t want to throw the PoMo baby out with the bathwater (his linguistic metaphysics works for me):
Foucault Beyond Good and Evil in Open Culture
The Perversions of Foucault in New Criterion
What Foucault Meant by Genealogy
And other things:
A History of Philosophy Summarised and Visualised
(Neat – not sure how practically useful.)
Galen Strawson’s Consciousness Deniers in NYR Books
(and other “silly” things … M Hammond comment?)
Western Ideas Live on in the East – John Gray in New Statesman
(Old thread of mine.)
Classification of Races – Ralph Leonard on Christine Louis Dit-Sully in Aero Magazine
(#GoodFences)
If you haven’t already read it, _Beyond Weird_ by Philip Ball might interest you. He prefers information theory as the explanation for quantum mechanics.
Hi AJ, I’d not read it but I will now.
Had problems with Philip Ball before, being one of the more orthodox scientistic, so I will be interested.
