If we’re going to plough huge money into defence, and also want a population which has sufficient numbers of people willing to join up, we’d better fund it through land and wealth taxes.

Moves into the most heartfelt and excoriating rant against Trump. Very satisfyingly real anger from Scott Ritter.

Thank you.

Brilliant. That did work. Thank you.

It won’t take me to the page. I’ll need a bit of help to get a sense/meaning distinction (unless ‘meaning’ there is bedeutung, but that would seem to require that two sentences could have the same sense but different truth-conditions and it’s not that I guess?)

Is that to maintain that ‘know’ is ambiguous; in one sense (which it has in most utterances) it’s synonymous with ‘truly believes’, whilst there’s another where more is required?

I’m sure, or almost, that had their colleges been willing to provide nannies, they’d have taken advantage of that. Whether Anscombe or Geach would have, if encouraged, swapped academic duties for more time at home, I rather doubt it.

(As perhaps Richard Foley thinks — certainly he thinks it’s a mistake to conflate the question of how knowledge is secured with how one might justify the corresponding belief.)

Would you allow that where a subject knows that p, that provides conclusive warrant for their believing that p? Or are attributions of knowledge and justified belief simply disconnected?

I should read Gupta, which I haven’t. (There’s some initial implausibility, though, in thinking that having a fact made manifest to a subject has no interest for their, to use McD’s term, epistemic standing in respect of that fact.)

So I guess the area of contention between you and McD may be whether if the internalist tries to do what you want them to do, that may put knowledge out of reach altogether. (One would end up claiming that where one knows that p, still, for all one knows, not-p.)

(I can supply a copy if wanted.)

Though he’s very firm that the disjunctivism is not a variety of externalism.

Not that it restricts on GEMA any more than it does on Geach, of course.

Do you know the John Carey anecdote about the Anscombe-Geach household in Down with Dons?

OUP tells me I should share this. And publicise my book. So here it goes. Please read my book. It has a pretty cover. It's cheap (for an academic book) and you can have this discount! Also please review it, somewhere fancy if possible!

Do internalists need that? Isn’t that just what e.g. McDowell works hard to deny in ‘Knowledge by Hearsay’?

Does Orr think of himself as in the tradition of Scruton? I can’t quite imagine RS effusing over Peter Thiel as he did.

Gosh. One might have thought a charitable reading would look to separate them. (I mean that less sardonically than it sounds.)

BAOW was too self-aware (and so lacking in Scruton’s romanticism, sometimes a rather sixth-form romanticism) ever to come across as a twit.

It’s a while since I read it, but I liked the Aesthetics of Music, not least because it struck me as conscious of the difficulties of a reactionary aesthetic. And there was less danger of being an idiot than, say, Sexual Desire presented to him.
