One of the strengths of philosophy is that it teaches you what an argument is, what is evidence and what is rhetoric. It is abundantly clear from many of the debates in the media about Iraq, for example, that people have no idea how to argue, and this is dangerous.--Edward Craig

@edccraig @mortimercopy Ah, I recognise that other Edward Craig from the Routledge Encyclopdia of Philosophy. Never knew he played first-class cricket. Sorry, but back to Ulysses - I promise I shall read it. I just need to finish my current TBR pile first, which is now down in the single digits.
