This Post is Old!
The post you are reading is
years old and may not represent my current views. I started blogging around the
time I first began to study philosophy, age 17. In my view, the point of philosophy is
to expose our beliefs to rational scrutiny so we can revise them and get better beliefs
that are more likely to be true. That's what I've been up to all these years, and this
blog has been part of that process. For my latest thoughts, please see the
front page.
Quote of the Day: Mencius on Border Police
In antiquity, a border station was set up as a precaution against violence. Today it is set up to perpetrate violence.
- Mencius (4th cent. BCE), sect. 7B8, tr. Lau
