Philosophical Explications

Raison

I've been out of the active philosophy game for far, far too long. I've not been taking classes, or teaching classes, or attending talks, or writing papers, or doing research (in philosophy). That's so sad! So I'm way out of practice. For me, a key philosophical practice and skill is explication, whether by means of a precis, or an outline, or study questions. But it's hard to motivate myself to do them in isolation. Hence, this blog, wherein I shall post, at least for myself, explications of papers and arguments. Maybe some other stuff as well, but the main goal is to get me back in the explication mode.
