Williamson’s Caring Argument Against Analyzing Knowledge

Williamson thinks that the fact that we have yet to come up with a suitable analysis of knowledge post-Gettier, among other things, should push us to accept that there is no analysis of knowledge.

He thinks that we should treat knowledge as an unanalyzable primitive.

Here’s something I find puzzling, he argues that we should regard knowledge as an unanalyzable primitive even if it turned out that knowledge was co-extensive with some complex analysis. (more…)

SUNY Fredonia has Wordpress MU!!!

Thanks to Jonathan Woolson, any member of the SUNY Fredonia community (someone with a fredonia.edu email address) can create their own homepage/blog using Wordpress at http://blogs.fredonia.edu

This is an incredibly valuable service that has been thrown together for our use. I invite you to check it out. I set one up in seconds. Here it is.

Since I already have a Wordpress install here, I won’t be using it for my personal blogging. But I bet I can think of some cool uses for it down the road. For now, I’m just keeping this open as a sandbox so people can see what it would look like when they first get started.

Bottomline: Any faculty/staff/student who doesn’t have the patience to mess with Wordpress installs, can now get set up with a high quality blog, running a high quality CMS, for free, and it will have a legit fredonia.edu URL.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
