| July 2007 - Wow... I had forgotten that this place even exists. This page is years old. I suppose I should update it , or delete it. But, most likely, I will do neither of these things. ***************** Here are a few papers I've written. These may be of limited interest to non-philosophers, but you never know... Before you cast your eyes over the philosophy, though, I should let you in on something (possibly) far more important. What I really love is music. Recently, I have been playing and recording with The Dr Finbar Trio. You can visit the website of this (sadly, now defunct) band here. As an inducement, I can tell you that the Dr Finbar site is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than this one! In 2000 I recorded an album on my PC, aptly entitled, "The Cheap Album". Recently, I've been setting up a small home-recording studio. I have 30+ songs waiting for recording - I reckon that there are a couple of albums-worth there. And as a practise-run, I intend to re-record the Cheap Album. I've also just recorded a demo CD of 5 songs, which I will send gratis to anyone (that's right, anyone) on request. But before you make the request, check out the one recording that I have online here. Oh yeah, back to the philosophy....

You'll need to get Acrobat Reader (free) if you don't have it already. You can also download my PhD. Thesis. There's quite a bit of overlap with the above material, but it looks much prettier! Click here to see a paper by Brian Weatherson, 'Many Many Problems', which responds to 'Supervaluations and the Problem of the Many', as well as to several other criticisms of supervaluational treatments of the Problem of the Many. Also on his site is a draft of a book on vagueness. Vagueness freaks might also enjoy a visit to Justin Needle's vagueness resource page here. If you haven't been there already, why not try these directories for more online philosophy papers (I know you just can't get enough): David Chalmers' directory Episteme Links *This is not the title of a paper (by me). |
