  1. Remembering Alasdair MacIntyre (1929-2025)

    wordonfire.org/articles/rememb

    For more than seven decades, Alasdair #MacIntyre was a prolific and provocative philosopher. The author of more than two hundred scholarly articles and more than twenty books, MacIntyre’s best known work, After Virtue, was described in 1981 by Newsweek as “a stunning new study of ethics by one of the foremost moral philosophers in the English-speaking world.” Conventional wisdom had offered the bare alternatives of Kantian duty based ethics and utilitarian consequentialist ethics. Echoing themes found in Elizabeth #Anscombe’s “Modern Moral Philosophy,” After Virtue revolutionized the field by reintroducing virtue ethics as a viable alternative and by calling into question modern moral philosophy as an attempt to make sense of the shards left over from the shattered premodern synthesis of Athens and Jerusalem.

  9. Kennt ihr das Anscombe-Quartett? Das sind 4 unterschiedliche Datensätze, welche die selben stastistischen Kennwerte aufweisen.
    Ich verwende es gerne in der Lehre, auch, weil der Datensatz in R implementiert ist.

  13. After seeing this WTF yesterday (smelling like Anscombe's Quartet), my brain couldn't stop wondering how many others exist. So I wrote a Q&D brute force bash script and found 99 more solutions.

  17. This #review by #ThomasNagel about two books about Elizabeth #Anscombe, Philippa #Foot, Mary #Midgley & Iris #Murdoch really helped me to understand their impact & their philosophical achievements, but it’s also rather sweet , because at the end he discloses that he knew tree of them personally & is very proud of this.
