For this week's reading group we decided to meet at the Angel & Greyhound (on St Clements, close to Magdalen roundabout) at the usual time of 8:30 Wednesday.
The chosen reading was Barbara Fried's 'Left Libertarianism: A Review Essay' Philosophy & Public Affairs 32:1 (2004) pp.66-91, the reply in P&PA 33:2 (2005) pp.201-15 and her rejoinder to that pp.216-22 of the same volume.
Memorable quotes:
OK: We're getting into utilitarianism for lions.
KO: Stop throwing long words at me.
SW: I'm just making up words now.
KW: It's not to do with Nozick, it's about a hypothetical.
SW: I treat my [one year old] daughter as an object.
KW: Not everything that doesn't exist is weird.
KW: Death is bad, it just isn't painful.
OK: I think it's worth... Well, not worth, but interesting to distinguish...
KO: I think there's been a massive increase in pedantic comments.
Me: We're philosophers!
OK/KW/KO: Every week we end up discussing pro tanto reasons.
KO: I didn't mean to get into paedophilia.
