Golden Rule Epistemology

Posted on April 18, 2024 by RC

It was an easy argument. As a graduate student in English at Ole Miss I had developed something of a reputation as a contrarian, a gadfly. Which led one colleague to ask me words to this effect- “RC, you always … Continue reading →

Now Play Nice

Posted on March 19, 2024 by RC

Rome Not Home

Posted on December 7, 2023 by RC

The Unbearable Oughtness of Being Or, Postmodern Pharisees

Posted on October 10, 2023 by RC

The appeal of ethical relativism is rather plain to see. If there is no right and wrong then I can’t be convicted of any wrong. Ethical relativism allows me to write my own law, to edit on the fly, to … Continue reading →
