In honour of May Day, the website of the Center for a Stateless Society has just undergone a massive and beautiful redesign.
Here’s how the site looked when C4SS first launched in 2006.
Here’s how it looked last month.
And here’s the C4SS website today. Shiny!
The chief architect of the new site redesign is William Gillis, to whom shukrani sana.
If anyone feels moved to help C4SS out with donations, translations, or our new Into Libraries program, don’t be shy!
A number and a flower
I’ve previously mentioned media critic Phil Sandifer, who since early 2011 has been blogging his way through every episode of Doctor Who (plus related phenomena) from 1963 to the present. (The reference to a “psychochronograph” in the recent Doctor Who episode “Hide” was a shout-out to Phil’s blog, which until recently was titled “TARDIS Eruditorum: A Psychochronography in Blue.”) He’s also been reworking the posts into chapters of a book series, the first three volumes of which (on the First, Second, and Third Doctors) have been published – though you might want to hold off on buying the first one, since a revised edition will be available soon.
For the last ten months Phil’s been valiantly slogging through the vast interregnum of novels, audioplays, and spinoffs (in other words, stuff I have no familiarity with) between the end of the classic series in 1989 and its revival in 2005. Now he has finally gotten to “Rose,” the first episode of the revived series, and has revamped the website for the occasion. Here’s the entry on “Rose.” Go read it! And here’s some background on “Rose.” Go read that too.
There’s been a debate on the non-aggression principle going on for a while at BHL and related sites; I finally weighed in today with Eudaimonism and Non-Aggression.
I also announced the mailing of iRad #2 with Celebrate the iRadvent.
The 2013 meeting of the Alabama Philosophical Society will be October 11-12 in Pensacola. Paper submission deadline: August 2. Details here.
The title says it all, man. Just pass out quietly.

AUBURN, ALABAMA – April 12, 2013 – Molinari Institute –
Gary Chartier
“It’s a distinct honor to be associated with the Molinari Institute,” said Chartier. “I welcome this exciting opportunity to join a team of capable philosophers committed to highlighting the liberatory potential of bottom-up social organization and market freedom!”
Molinari Institute president Roderick T. Long added, “Gary Chartier is one of the best libertarian thinkers working today, and one of the foremost defenders of the liberatory potential of radically freed markets as a humane alternative to both hierarchical capitalism and the monopoly state. We’re absolutely delighted to have him on board.”
Chartier joins philosophers Roderick T. Long (Auburn University), Charles W. Johnson (Alliance of the Libertarian Left), and Jennifer McKitrick (University of Nebraska – Lincoln) on the Molinari Institute board.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY
The mission of the Molinari Institute is to promote understanding of the philosophy of Market Anarchism as a sane, consensual alternative to the hypertrophic violence of the State. The Institute takes its name from Gustave de Molinari (1819-1912), originator of the theory of Market Anarchism.
