Leiter Reports: A Philosophy Blog

Reader e-mail of the week

This from a young American philosopher now teaching outside the U.S.:

[My] sincere thanks for the many professional updates your blog provides. It's been a source of information since my early years as an undergraduate (at an institution where such information would otherwise be unavailable), and I'm glad you've plugged away despite professional opposition or whatnot!

Opposition to providing information to undergraduates who would not otherwise get it is one of the interesting features of our "profession"!

A kind note from a professor in another humanities field at Yale:

As long as we are in touch, I do want to say how much I do admire the blog: smart, principled, and fun.

From a tenured philosophy professor elsewhere in the U.S.:

Thanks as always for the light you cast on the civil liberties issues in our embarrassing profession.
