What is the well-dressed market anarchist wearing? Another well-dressed market anarchist, of course!
Commemorate the centenary of Gustave de Molinari’s death, and the decennial of the Molinari Institute’s birth, by wearing the founder of market anarchism around your neck.
The BHL/C4SS symposium on left-libertarianism continues, with contributions by John Holbo, Jacob Levy, Danny Shapiro, Steven Horwitz, Gary Chartier, and David Gordon.
So Aristotle, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Husserl faced off at the Gnu’s Room. I wore dark glasses and made the case for Aristoteleanism as a way to stop being stupid without becoming crazy. (Stupid = the unexamined life; crazy = believing stuff you can’t coherently live.) At the end the audience voted to keep Aristotle alive and to return the others to the grave. Mission accomplished.
It’s time for more Philosophy at the Gnu’s Room! (I forgot to announce our last one, “Philosophy & Technology,” Oct. 24.) Tonight’s session (Weds., Nov. 14, at 5:00 p.m.) is a panel of Dead Philosophers, at which various department members will be representing their favourite dead philosophers. I’ll be playing Aristotle. Come on by!
