"Dear Mr. Grice,
I apologize for the appearance of this paper. It was lost in the streets of Berkeley for several hours, during which time it was apparently run over by some sort of vehicle."
(Sadly, the paper was not included)

Folks, I'm in a quandary. Last year I reviewed a paper that was great, but had some problems. I recommended revisions. It seems clear, however, that it was rejected.
I want to use some ideas and cite the draft. I have attempted to track down the paper and the author with no luck. What do I do?

So glad to see this article finally out! An incredibly useful model to compare to an increasingly popular example of animal cumulative culture.
Pigeons navigate along idiosyncratic routes that improve between generations. Cumulative cultural evolution? This study shows that the same cumulative route improvements spontaneously emerge in simple artificial agents.

Folks working on aesthetics: is there work about "aestheticizing" something that shouldn't be evaluated aesthetically? Like, valuing something as an aesthetic object when it should be evaluated/valued in some other way — like as a religious or political object or practice?

As this semester winds down, and I start preparing classes for the next one and the next one, I've been thinking more and more about the bloat in my syllabi and the bureaucratization of the classroom as a whole.

So Georgia Tech has no philosophy degree program — undergraduate or graduate — nonetheless, I've taught some talented undergraduate philosophers here, interested in more.
I know of good terminal MA programs (SFU, GSU, Tufts). What else can I recommend to these kiddos who might want to learn more?
