Where is Umbridge, exactly? North or south?

Bora Dogan has been working hard behind the scenes to improve the Philosophy Now website. Much of his work is invisible - but will make various things function better. A few changes that are visible are: 1) In the Philosophy Now online shop it is now possible to buy 2-year subscriptions to the magaz...

Incidentally, ksdjhjkfg56, someone has polluted your post with an irrelevant link to an advert for DVDs. (I have not clicked on the link, and would advise others not to click on it either, lest it lead to some nasty virus, but the code indicates that this is what it is.) I see that your other posts...

Issue 76 is up on the website now. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience!

Yes, welcome. Always uplifting to be joined by a member of the clergy. :D I hadn't heard of ulc.net (Universal Life Church) before. Enjoyed a visit to their website just now. It says: You may become a legally ordained minister for life, without cost, and without question of faith. Now, that's what I...

When will it be on the web site? What is the theme? It seems I get my print copy AFTER the issue hits the web site--I'm in Florida (USA) Hiya a) Not sure when it will be on the website. Normally it would be up by now. However, our webmaster Bora Dogan is deeply immersed in a big overhaul of the pay...

I wonder where my copy of issue 75 is. After all, it is Oct 26. Sorry to hear this. Has it arrived yet? Whereabout in the world do you live? If you send me a PM or an email with your address I'll chase it up. Part of the problem may be the ongoing series of postal strikes here in the UK. Some lette...

I'm afraid billiardbobby is a spambot. I've just deactivated "his" account and deleted his other postings.

However, let me take the opportunity to add my own welcome, finthebiscuitman.

Hello Hamza and welcome! It was a pleasure and an education debating with you.

I have an email from you that I've been meaning to reply to for several days - sorry, life's been hectic.

I'm going to stand up for Peter Rickman here, as this piece was one of my fave articles of this year. :) I know the article starts off as if it is going to be a criticism of psychology for failing to meet the standards of the physical sciences. This is a bit of a tease, I think, as then it goes on t...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm reading and digesting. It is possible to have detailed biographical accounts of PN Editorial Board just so we know where they are coming from. There is some very limited biographical info about us here: http://philosophynow.org/about If someone espouses a particul...

http://ubu.com/film/miller_dinner.html Dinner With Henry Yesterday i read something Pluto wrote about Henry Miller, i was vaguely familiar with Anais but not him so i looked him up and found this video. I also like the photo at the top of the page Thanks so much for your posting! Not just for "...

Hi nameless. We corrected your typo! (Though you probably spotted that by now)

The new issue ("Existentialism and Culture") is up on the website now, as you may have seen: http://philosophynow.org/ Sorry it is a bit late - we usually try to get the new issue out in the last week of first month shown on the cover. (ie the Sept/Oct issue should have been out in the las...
