From J, over the pond :
"sending you a grumble about your blog.

“How our frail identities survive these chasms no philosopher has ever been
able to explain“

Hello? When did Iris Murdoch make this claim? was it in the 1950s??

Has she never read the likes of David Papineau or Daniel Dennett?

Certainly the quote has a certain lyrical soundess to it - it sounds
sensible, however the philosophy/biology/cognitive sciences can handle this
question without too much trouble.


right. rant over. hope it didn't spoil your poetic mood...

sometimes you are such a hippy! "

I know.
