A Darwinist Mob?
Hitting the Nagel on the head
The New Republic, a magazine evidently inspired by an H.G.Wells essay of the same name, has published an essay entitled "A Darwinist Mob Goes After a Serious Philosopher," by Leon Wieseltier. Immediately (you guessed it) a Darwinist mob went after him in the comment section. All the while blinking incredulously saying What Darwinist mob? We don't see no Darwinist mob! Nobody here but us chickens.
What most of the commenklatura seemed to miss was that Wieseltier's essay did not concern itself with whether Darwinism per se is true or false - the answer is clearly 'yes' - but with the crypto-religious reaction of the Darwinistas to the whiff of heresy sniffed out from Thomas Nagel’s book Mind and Cosmos. Now Nagel is one of the top philosophers of consciousness in the modern world and he is adamantly opposed to religion. It is not that he thinks the existence of God is wrong, but that he hates and fears the whole idea that God exists. This would seem to put him on the side of the angels (in a manner of speaking) insofar as readers of TNR are concerned.Read more »6. The Faint Smile of Gustav SorgenssonJumping ahead of the Fierce Combat of Ogier the Dane, Schultzi the Beast and the odd bonding of Wilma and Carole, as well as sundry other bits and pieces adding foreboding for conditions in Milwaukee, we rejoin Frank as he visits Sorgensson in Aachen. We have skipped over a precis of his journey down the Rhine, an encounter in Karlsruhe with an American student there, and his discovery of a letter by the Bardi factor he finds in the Landesarchiv which hints at what the Peruzzi Manuscript was all about. He is now meeting Sorgensson.
Gustaf Sorgensson was a big man across the shoulders, who wore his hair clipped short in a manner fast passing out of style. His hands were big and when he clenched them knuckles stood out like boulders from the earth. A short, boxed beard covered, without quite concealing, an old scar. His most marked feature, however, was his eye patch. The scar ran up across his cheek and under the patch.
