A conservative Christian family member recently sent me Ravi Zacharias&#8217;s book The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists (2008) and asked that I offer a reply.  The following is my reply.

Not long ago, in a galaxy not too far away, Daniel Dennett published an elegantly short essay titled &#8220;The Part of Cognitive Science That Is Philosophy&#8221; (Topics in Cognitive Science 1, 2009, 231-236), in which philosophers are encouraged to do work, in view of Andrew Brook&#8217;s   distinction, that simultaneously qualifies as [...]]]></description>

(Harvard Law Library)
 
I find it remarkable that the latest entry at Harvard Law&#8217;s The Situationist was given the opportunity to present itself.  Perhaps conservatism must &#8211; at times &#8211; be equated with stupidity.  Conservatism, after all, does have its survival value for those who are stupid.  (I say what I like regardless, but it would [...]]]></description>
