Secular & right-wing edition of bloggingheads.tv?
Well, depends on how you define secular. I interviewed Greg Cochran on bloggingheads.tv recently, talking about evolution, etc. I think this might be the only way that you could get two registered Republicans on that show; have them talk only … Continue reading
On objective ends
Jim Kalb offers a criticism of the general mission statement of this weblog, Is “the secular” so clear?: My own view, which my book goes into at length, is that by itself rational empiricism gives you desire and technique as … Continue reading
