Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Pigs at the Trough

    The Atlantic finally popped through the door so I can point to all the interesting pieces in this months issue. Some of the material is available online, but I prefer reading the hardcopy issue, and then linking to the stories.

  • South Korean hostage 'beheaded'

    After the tragedies of Nick Berg and Paul Johnson, it appears Kim Sun-il is the latest hostage to be beheaded. His corpse has apparently been found in Iraq.
