Comment ID: #1 Name: Sascha Settegast E-mail: sascha.settegast(at)gmx.de I am really looking forward to your thesis being published. :) And I really like how you point out possible practical applications, or how your theory could be of practical consequence. I wish my professors would do that more often with their teachings. Academic philosophy often seems to me very free floating and pointless; as if it were only there for its own sake. (I admit, my university studies are in a slight crisis in terms of sense and motivation at present. I am rather unhappy with the onsidedness of what is thaught in Trier; it's just too much Kantian and post-Kantian epistemology.) | |

Comment ID: #3 Name: Galileo Blogs E-mail: rayniles(at)rcniles.com URL: http://galileoblogs.blogspot.com Congrats, Diana. Your work sounds very interesting and useful, especially if it provides grounding for a proper law of torts. Now, can you devote your next work to a proper philosophical grounding for economics?? :-) | |

Comment ID: #4 Name: Josh E-mail: porcupinetree.opeth(at)gmail.com I am really looking forward to reading this. I don't know too much about moral luck, but a quick wiki search made it seem interesting. Not only that, but you will be going against Nagel so now I have to read it. | |

Comment ID: #7 Name: SurahAhriman E-mail: SurahAhriman(at)gmail.com I had to read Nagel a year or so ago for a low level philosophy class. I thought he was a very intelligent guy arguing a very bad position. I'd love to see an Objectivist rebuttal. | |

Comment ID: #11 Name: Don Kenner E-mail: dbkenner(at)earthlink.net Congrats! This is (as you know) no small accomplishment. I had a friend (many years ago) who had been working on his PhD dissertation in Philosophy for THIRTEEN YEARS. Evidently, back in the day you could get away with this kind of sloth. I'm told by academic friends that today you'd never last that long. Anyway, I asked him once why it was so hard to complete this admittedly herculean task. He said he could no longer follow his chain of argument from the first half of his draft. His "current self" no longer understood what his "former self" was trying to say. Good grief! Don't you just hate it when your former self does that? | |
