But the link doesn't take me to anything informative. Who is the author and what is the title of the paper? Thanks for the reference, btw. I do have access to JSTOR.

Either you get flooded with Russian porn or you risk weeding out the occasional real person. I don't exactly remember the content of my post, but I assure you it was quite brilliant. I think the idea is that the naturalist only needs to provide a possible source of genuine aesthetic values. This paper: http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.umsl.edu/stable/pdfplus/1424804.pdf is a good introduction as long as you have access to jstor. Let me know if you don't. Eh, no problem.

A friend installed this really hardcore spam filter and I don't know how to work it. I found your domain on the blacklist and whitelisted both that and your IP, whatever that means. I can't find your comments... What link were you trying to provide? Sheesh, I’m sorry, bro. A friend installed this really hardcore spam filter and I don’t know how to work it.

I tried to post over there to tell you but it told me my comment was marked and the administrator would have to approve it.

I used to be pretty cautious towards women philosophers (not intentionally, but subconsciously) but as of late I've been floored by the offerings of philosophers of the fairer sex. Just a few that I consider first-rate philosophers: Elizabeth Harman Christine Korsgaard Berit Brogaard Karen Bennett Those are some names that most professional philosophers respect, and I suspect their stories are relevant for women interested in getting on in philosophy.

Women tend not to be so cerebral, so left brain, so logical as men naturally are, philosophy requires this, as such more men do philosophy. Frankly most of the women I read who attempt philosophy let the team down. My favourite philosophers are almost all men and that is not because I have not read female philosophers. I'd like to hope that one day I can become one of the woman working in philosophy who can be considered good but time will tell and I need the letters after my name first!
