It's #WorldPhilosophyDay!
And did you know that philosophers can (sometimes) be quite good at answering practical questions? Questions such as: "What should state-mandated Relationships Education look like?" "Am I obliged to mentor my students?"

A letter on Philosophy & Public Affairs letterhead that reads: November 12, 1973 Professor Robert Nozick Department of Philosophy Emerson Hall Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 Dear Professor Nozick, I have been meaning to send you a note ever since you did not telephone the second time last week just to say that I decided after all to drop the offending post-apostrophes from the possessive of Rawls. This is, as I told you, according to the Chicago Manual of Style an honor due only to Moses and Jesus, but with us aesthetic considerations won out. The decision puts us somewhat in a class by ourselves -- I note that in Brian Barry's new book he and Oxford Press write Rawls's -- but I don't mind being different. I trust that you will not. sincerely， Margot Cutter
November 12, 1973 --- The day Philosophy & Public Affairs started treating Rawls like Jesus.
Great article, Christina. You are spot on here.
