![Tullius est [et Tullius non est Cicero]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwDG4xhsMn9o9J6nFVbJuaWEgUYVbxr7B9gbOXGZ3gwOu55lJg3q0Ev-z3MhLy29603_fkvvngkYmsTvRd4BATcVzZvVOhgkPSy-GIAuaFE0sCVBc_zcTW_d2mKKeCWhMxsZhAPyqXzymO/s1600/cicero-right-1024x603.jpg)
Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')
Interesting article: a fault-line between two strikingly different world-views. The Church of England has a "Deliverance Minister" specially appointed to each diocese, and my wife (who is training to be an Anglican priest) tells me that most of their work in that area is sifting out the cases of mental illness. I've met the Deliverance Minister for our diocese and attended a course with him. He's such an ordinary man, it is genuinely difficult to imagine him dealing with anything other than routine parish business.
ReplyDeleteI'm a believer, partly from first hand experience. I would say more but such matters are better imparted face to face.
