I called attention recently to the special issue of the National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly devoted to the theme “Critiques of the New Natural Law Theory.”  The issue is now available for free download.  (Keep in mind that my own contribution to the issue is an excerpt from a forthcoming longer article.)

I notice that Aristotle on Method and Metaphysics, the anthology I edited for Palgrave Macmillan’s Philosophers in Depth series, is at the time of this posting selling at a whopping 40% discount on Amazon -- $57, down from the steep $95 list price.  Prices may change, so buy now!

The Catholic Center at New York University will be hosting a symposium this November 9 on the theme “Thomas Aquinas and Philosophical Realism.”  The speakers are James Brent, OP, John Haldane, William Jaworski, Candace Vogler, J. David Velleman, Edward Feser, and Thomas Joseph White, OP.  The event begins at 11 am.

David Oderberg will be delivering the George F. Hourani Lectures in Ethics at the State University of New York, Buffalo, on September 23 - 27.  The theme is “The Metaphysics of Good and Evil.”  He will also be debating Patrick Toner on September 26 on the subject of survival and immortality.  More details about both events are available through David’s website.

In a piece for The New York Times, Thomas Nagel offers a summary of the argument of his book Mind and Cosmos.

Gods, Heroes, and Monsters: A Sourcebook of Greek, Roman, and Near Eastern Myths in Translation is just out from Oxford University Press.  Mark Anderson, whom longtime readers will recall from his book Pure: Modernity, Philosophy, and the One, is among the translators.

Finally, given the uptick I’m noticing in emails asking for detailed commentary on philosophical and theological matters, here’s a friendly reminder about correspondence sent to me.
