I have some things in the works for this blog which aren't quite ready: teaching resources, specifically. These batches of very handy test questions I have up my sleeve. I promise to have those up by the end of the week. (There. Now I'm committed.) In the meantime, I have done something else. I uploaded pretty much all the illustrations in the book to a Flickr set. The illustrations began life as visual aids for my PPT slides for my large intro class, and I figure if anyone else wants to use them for that - well, go ahead. (I may be the only person in the world who can truly say that I learned to draw so I could use PPT.) Most of them aren't particularly pedagogically amenable - unless you were to adopt my book for classroom use, I suppose (hint! hint!) But others might be more generically useful to the Plato or philosophy instructor looking for clip art that isn't the usual wretched stuff.
I hereby resolve to be more useful to this blog. As Plato says, books are very helpless things, always crying on their authors for assistance when anyone asks a question. And this goes double for blogs, which aren't even written yet. Except for the relatively few, pitiful bits of them that have been written already.
John, I hadn't twigged that you had done the illustrations yourself. When did you learn to draw? I think they are very effective!

Thanks! Besides some intermittent doodling over the years, I didn't start drawing until I started teaching at NUS. I thought it would be fun to doodle stuff to use as illustrations for lecture slides. And it just became a habit and then a mild obsession.

Prof. Holbo,
Since you are giving people permission above to use your illustrations in Powerpoint slides, perhaps you should put them under one of the Creative Commons licenses on Flickr.

Time as we know it(seconds, minutes, hours, days) does not exist pyilhcalsy. Our concept of time is based on our observation of a change in state of things. Imagine a series of snapshots of the state of things. Time is the separation from one snapshot to the next. Since we cannot observe everything we have to improvise by taking one series of snapshots and use it as a measuring stick for all other changes. For example the distance between snapshots of two sunrises in succession is one day and fractions of that distance we measure as hours etc. By doing this we now have time which we can attribute to similar change in states. Not all change in states have the same time separation. It can happen that given X to Y and A to B, 100 snapshots of X to Y are equal to one set of A to B.Going back to the conundrum it may take more time for some things to happen and Nothing happens only if you confine it to a smaller snapshot. Time seems to stop only in small chunks becasue something is happenning somewhere. Now if we consider a snapshot of EVERYTHING and we put the same snapshot after itself then the separation between the two would not be time. It would have to be something else.

Hi Marianne,I don't see why morality and raoitnality are defined inconsistenly. Actually I never defined morality. I did defined raoitnality according to the usage that I know in decision analysis/decision aid, where the axiom of raoitnality states that a rational agent will select the alternative that produces the highest level of satisfaction, but without prescribing how to define satisfaction. Then, for everyone satisfaction could be defined in different ways even when facing the same problem.With this in mind, I find perfectly possible to assess the attributes of the different alternatives among which someone can choose including morality as one criterion. In such a case all the alternatives morally acceptable are satisfactory at least in that respect. Any other additional criteria will help to break ties. Immoral alternatives will produce dissatisfaction and thus should be banned. It's sound to me as a perfectly acceptable decision model compatible with the axiom of raoitnality. What do you think?Of course, here I'm taking a very technical route that avoids defining morality. Now I ask, why does morality should involve put aside one's interests? If I define morality as doing what is right, and assuming that I have some reference framework of what is right and wrong, why would someone choose to act wrong? Shouldn't be one of my interest to act according to what is right?

For the people that just diarcsd the Times as a good source of information, I would like them to present me a reasonable option with a better (in terms of years) track record of investigative reporting. That doesn't mean that it is not flawed, everything is, but you need to make decisions on the margin. If I remember right, this is called Marginal Analysis in economics.
