New Ethics Blog
May 28, 2010There’s a new ethics blog on the block, this time from Oxford. Looks like they have the appropriate admixture of extremely prolific folks and applied philosophers to make this one work. (As a one-man show myself, it’s hard sometimes to keep up the content.) To further support this conclusion, it has evidently been around long enough to have a substantial archives. Wonder what took it so long to pop up on the radar.

Hi Ben
thanks for the link,
our site has been around for about 2 1/2 years, and we have had some 500 odd posts over that time covering a wide range of ethical issues in the news. We have a number of very prominent philosophers contributing including Roger Crisp, Julian Savulescu and Janet Radcliffe Richards.
if you are interested feel free to follow us on twitter (@ethicsinthenews) or via rss http://www.practicalethicsnews.com/practicalethics/atom.xml
cheers

Yeah, that’s crazy that I hadn’t seen it before. I’ll check it out more frequently and hopefully link to your stuff.
It’s a relief to know that it’s not only in America that you can find educated people saying “peaked my interest.”
Huh? Nobody said that.
Second one down: “The Science and Religious Conflict Project team here at Oxford has recently finished hosting a major international conference on Religion, Tolerance and Intolerance [….]The conference involved a large number of very interesting papers by eminent scholars across a range of disciplines. One that particularly peaked my interest was a paper on ‘Religion as Parochial Altruism’[….]”
I’m actually not making fun of this; it’s just that I have a usually unconscious idea that Brits look down on Americans’ mastery of the language. Probably from reading John Le Carre.
