    The Epistemology of Reading and Interpretation

    One of these days my book The Epistemology of Reading and Interpretation will appear. I am, of course, pleased with this beautifully covered outcome of a couple of years hard work! The book grew out of something of a puzzle that had struck me many times over. Among epistemologists there is a long-standing discussion about […]

    Capitalism, Reconceived

    It seems the more that is said about capitalism, the less people understand it. This might be intentional: capitalism has become a politically useful catch-phrase, conveniently morphing into whatever politicians wish it to be. Progressives blame capitalism for the impending ravages of climate change, the profit motive supposedly overwhelming any sense of social responsibility. Conservatives […]
