Philosophical Malpractice

By John Pieret

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Undiscovery Institute has been quick to exploit the fact that the London Times Literary Supplement has well-known philosopher, Thomas Nagel, nominating Stephen Meyer's book, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the evidence for Intelligent Design as a Book of the Year.

Philosopher Brian Leiter has reacted with a post that gives Nagel's background and which has many helpful links to why Nagel is so wrong in this case.

It is sad, but it is also a reason to be angry, since he's not simply making a fool of himself, he's giving ammunition to those who campaign, relentlessly, to undermine biology education in the public schools.

Maybe philosophers should be made to take out malpractice insurance to cover the cost of correcting the damage he or she does to science and to compensate the innocent victims of their actions.
