...with the journalist Robert Wright. You can discuss the issues at the NHC's "On the Human" forum. A written version of Railton's thoughts appears at the NY Times philosophy blog; the comments there, as usual, are fairly hopeless, confirming again that democracy is doomed (unfortunately, some of the "commenters" seem to have spilled over to the NHC blog, since the initial comments there are much more uneven than is typical).
I did laugh when Mr. Wright described "The Stone" blog as well-received, but, as noted awhile back, things are now looking up--Railton this week, Nussbaum last, more good stuff to come, and hopefully nothing more about philosophers falling into wells.
