Thomas J. Spiegel

I have a lot presumably left wing professors in my social media feeds who are just a hair away from asserting that Khamenei was actually one of the good guys. Has everybody gone insane?

While I think the paper is excellent, it misses the mark for me. The gripes with philosophy not agreeing on what's factual was always about controversial facts. It seems that virtually all of the 200 examples are just truisms, even before philosophical reflection.

When I was to defend my MPhil Thesis at KCL ages ago, people recommended I veto TW as an external referee. He simply fails most students, I was told.

Tommy J. Curry is one of the most interesting, yet systematically overlooked philosophers alive.

If someone is looking for a sane, generous review of Amie's book.
