…for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
[William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act II, Scene 2]
Hamlet is discussing the state of Denmark with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Hamlet sees Denmark as a prison, so that is what it is for him. They don’t, so for them it is not.
This site isn’t just about prisons or Denmark or ethical relativism or even Wittgenstein’s duck-rabbits. But it is about thinking, broadly speaking.
There are three main threads so far. It would be great to get your thoughts on any of these:
Thinking about religion
If you’re interested in places where ethics, religion and evolution might intersect, please take a look at The ethics of belief. (Or start with Is religion immoral? or Does faith make us better?)
For a riposte to Antony Flew’s There is a god: How the world’s most notorious atheist changed his mind please see Another Flew over the cuckoo’s nest.
Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion
There are also a number of responses to books and articles written in answer to Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion:
Eagleton on Dawkins [‘Lunging, Flailing, Mispunching’ by Terry Eagleton]
Touched by an angel [Darwin's angel: An angelic riposte to The God Delusion by John Cornwell]
Delusion delusion [The Dawkins delusion?: Atheist fundamentalism and the denial of the divine, by Alister McGrath]
When Kathleen met Richard [Challenging Richard Dawkins: Why Richard Dawkins is wrong about God by Kathleen Jones]
Serious about delusion [Why there almost certainly is a God: Doubting Dawkins by Keith Ward]
Thinking about mimesis
If the phenomenology of representation is more your thing, please give Brecht and mimesis a whirl.
Thinking about business process
Topics in business process architecture:
Searching for the real business process
Business processes and business rules
Business process architecture and business change
