Mon site commençait à dater un peu, j’ai donc entrepris de le rénover de fond en comble. La migration prendra un peu de temps car je passe d’un site statique à un support dynamique (via Wordpress). Le temps que je récupère tous mes contenus et que j’arrête la nouvelle structure de site et tout sera rentré dans l’ordre.

I have retired from undergraduate teaching and administration as of January 2010, but am still actively supervising and welcome enquiries from potential graduate students. I have recently been coming to terms with Barry Taylor's arguments for antirealism and gave the Barry Taylor Memorial lecture at the University of Melbourne, titled 'The truth in anti-realism'. A draft copy of the paper is available here . I have also completed a draft of a paper attempting to show that time travel stories are inconsistent (contrary to what David Lewis argued in "The Paradoxes of Time Travel"). I have been working for years on something I call "the Platonic Table". This is a table of numbers that guided the Demiurge during the creation of the heavens and the earth, and during the creation of both the souls and the bodies of both the gods and mortal animals - according to Plato's Timaeus .

[This is a review of Dennet's Sweet Dreams and Rosenberg's A Place for Consciousness . The letters may look squiggly when you open it with Adobe Acrobat, but if you zoom in like crazy, it'll look nice. If you print it out, it'll look great, too...if you have a magnifying glass.] [There's an ugly typo in the print version of my Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on "Dualism in the Philosophy of Mind" — the copy editor took out " tu quo que" and I asked to have it put back; so, to punish me, it was reinserted...misspelled!

Ce texte a d'abord été publié en 2005 dans un ouvrage collectif, Dissidences aux Presses Universitaires de France, puis repris dans Les Complaisantes (F.-X. de Guibert, 2008), écrit en collaboration avec l'historien Edouard Husson en réponse aux Bienveillantes Jonathan Littell. De tous les écrits sur le Goulag soviétique, il n’en est aucun, selon Alexandre Soljénitsyne, qui témoigne davantage de « ce fond de sauvagerie et de désespoir vers lequel nous tirait tout le quotidien des camps », que les Récits de la Kolyma de Varlam Chalamov*, aujourd’hui unanimement considérés comme l’un des plus importants témoignages sur l’univers concentrationnaire stalinien, davantage même comme un chef-d’œuvre de la littérature russe du XXe siècle, autant dire de la littérature universelle.
