...I am just returned from talks at Pomona and UC Riverside in lovely Southern California. I am catching up on e-mail, and will get back to those who wrote over the next couple of days. At Pomona, I was especially impressed that so many undergraduates (from the various Claremont colleges) came to the talk on a late Friday afternoon and also asked quite interesting questions. UC Riverside was, as always, a pleasure, both at the Wednesday paper ("Normativity for Naturalists") and at what turned into a 3+ hour seminar on Thursday about Nietzsche's metaethics with the excellent graduate students, as well as Maude Clark and Pierre Keller. Riverside appears to be at the vanguard of the Ernst Cassirer "revival": Keller and Erich Reck are, again, running a well-attended reading group on Cassirer, and one of UCR's outstanding recent PhDs, Samantha Matherne (now on tenure-track at UC Santa Cruz), will be writing the volume on Cassirer in the Routledge Philosophers series.
