This update will be brief, folks–most of the month since I last posted has been spent working on my two books-in-progress and pushing other proposals forward, as well as dealing with the beginning of the spring semester. But I do have some items to mention: The Manipulation of Choice: Ethics and Libertarian Paternalism is finally available…

Happy new year, everyone! Turns out I have a lot to say about the last several weeks, which were taken up largely by two national conferences–and a lot of time in airports and airplanes! The last weekend of December was the Eastern Division meetings of the American Philosophical Association in Atlanta, my first APA in about ten…

I couldn't let a birthday pass without a reflective birthday post—and I worked quite a bit on one yesterday—but I don't know if I can improve on last year's post at The Good Men Project. I don't think I've progressed in terms of any of the issues described in that post, such as lack of…

Wow, an update is less than a month–it's like a Christmas miracle. 😉 The biggest news: the cover for Superman and Philosophy is finally available (as you can see to your right and also in the "book batch" to the left). I also posted the table of contents at The Comics Professor (and to the page…

Well that was quite a month. The less said about Sandy, the better. You've seen the pictures, you've heard the stories–the impact on me and those close to me was trivial compared to most. The less said about my day job the better–maybe I'll talk about this more once the dust settles. (Ooh, cryptic!) So…

I've been spending a lot of long days at school the last several weeks, dealing with several major developments at the college, some good and some bad. That hasn't left a lot of time for writing, but I did manage a little, and there is some news to report on other fronts as well. My…

As I find myself one month into the fall semester, teaching and chairing are now my top priorities, but I still managed to get some writing done as I continue to check things off of my summer to-do list. Foremost among the items struck are the first draft of my chapter for The Good Wife and Philosophy…

Summer is over, my friends, at least for me. As I write this, it is the second day of fall semester, and I just submitted the manuscript for Superman and Philosophy–missed the end of summer by two days, but that's OK. More news on that book as it works through the production process. All in…

Man, I'm horrible at this "regular updates" thing. I still haven't returned to my earlier levels of online activity, so I'm hesitant to update until I have some things to tell you about. But most things are still in the planning stages, although they're further along than last time I "talked" to you. (How rude…

I'm happy to report that I did make it back from Europe in one piece, although that piece was thoroughly exhausted. But a good time was had–it was great seeing old friends and colleagues, as well as meeting new ones, at the World Congress for Social Economics; meeting all new people and discussing "nudges" at the "Regulating Bodies…
