Yeah, Scotland!




I am pleased to announce that the Edinburgh Epistemology Graduate Conference will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland from March 18-19, 2011. "The submission deadline for the conference is 10 January 2011. Although conference attendance is free, you must register for the conference if you plan on attending."
They welcome any papers that relate to any area of epistemology.
This conference is supported by grants from the Scots Philosophical Club and the Aristotelian Society.
I doubt famous Scot, Shirley Manson, will be in attendance, however, it is agreeable to know that she does love nerds.

Movie Poster of the Day


This is the first of what may be a constant flow of cool movie posters. Maybe, semi-constant.

Logos


According to a page on the PBS website, "The Greek word logos (traditionally meaning word, thought, principle, or speech) has been used among both philosophers and theologians. In most of its usages, logos is marked by two main distinctions - the first dealing with human reason (the rationality in the human mind which seeks to attain universal understanding and harmony), the second with universal intelligence (the universal ruling force governing and revealing through the cosmos to humankind, i.e., the Divine.)"
In keeping with this line of thought, I would like to express my thought that the original Dallas Mavericks logo is more interesting than the current Dallas Mavericks logo.
