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')

A Book I Just Finished
I generally like Peter Kreeft. I think very well of him. This book was...meh. If I would've read it 20 years ago I think I would have been a lot more enthused. It's a work of Christian apologetics and it's not bad in that regard. It's probably geared towards an undergraduate or lay audience, so there wasn't much there for me to chew on. In fact, I skimmed through parts as soon as I saw where it was heading. I should add, also, that the title is misleading: It should have been called "Socrates meets liberal Christians who think they know more than they really do and he shows them why they are stupid."
