Interesting links brought to you by Massimo Pigliucci.

  • How to build secular communities, by Emily Cadik, published in the New Humanist.
  • My review of "Understanding Philosophy of Science," by James Ladyman.
  • An absolutely brilliant satire by Jon Stewart of news networks' punditry.
  • Philosopher's pick: Anthony Appiah.
  • A somewhat old, and yet insightful, article in the New York Times on the historic repealing of obscenity laws in the United States.
  • The "other" 150th anniversary (other than Darwin's Origin): John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty," a foundational classic of the open society.
  • A commentary by National Center for Science Education's Genie Scott on the latest creationist trick: releasing a new edition of Darwin's "Origin of Species," with a few chapters mysteriously missing...
  • More evidence that Einstein was right, and that the speed of light really is a universal limit (darn, no warp speed for us!).
  • Kierkegaard's distinction between depression (of which he probably suffered) and despair. Not a cheerful piece, but a good thoughtful read.
