	In Memoriam: Paul Edwards Dies at 81 :: Ephilosopher :: Philosophy News, Research and Philosophical Discussion
		Edwards was mostly known for his work on The Encyclopedia of Philosophy and this was lasting work.
		His stories about philosophers he knew personally or older philosophers he encountered intellectually, were more than what we usually label "gossip." Through his stories he gave us a sense of styles of thinking of each of the philosophers that he talked about.
		He gave the student the sense that even philosophers of logic, such as Frege, were not "dry" but came to their views from their way of encountering the world as well as from the depth and logic of their thought.

	Reincarnation: A Critial Examination by Paul Edwards; Book Review (Skeptical Inquirer January 1999)
		Paul Edwards has risked this fate once again, this time by critically examining certain doctrines, once confined largely to Hindu and Buddhist believers, that have recently gained popularity among the eclectic disciples of New Age spirituality.
		Edwards proceeds with his usual precision to expose the hidden assumptions, the empirical flaws, and the often unpalatable implications of these teachings that, on the surface, can seem quite appealing.
		Edwards shows that the empirical evidence, like the supporting arguments put forth by past-life explorers such as Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, Stanislav Grof, Raymond Moody, and Ian Stevenson are far less compelling than the tabloid headlines would have you believe.

		Edwards examines the evidence that supports reincarnation--dejavu, child prodigies, hypnotic regressions and progressions, birthmarks, spontaneous memories, and near-death experiences--and discovers that all is easily accounted for by other scenarios.
		Philosopher Paul Edwards, however, has taken stock of this situation and, out of the kindness of his heart, and what I can only surmise is a selfless devotion to rationality, has decided to disabuse anyone who will listen to him of this dangerous notion.
		Paul Edwards dissects the reincarnation idea and discusses the idea of personal identity, the period that is supposed to lie "between lives", and various other problems of reincarnation.

		Edwards’ belief in the moral sense and the spiritual sense (which God grants humans and is a divine influence upon the will or affections) would have been repudiated by Locke as “enthusiastick” nonsense.
		Edwards follows Malebranche in holding that every particular being is like God in its existence; as I just mentioned, it differs from God only because it lacks being in some measure.
		Edwards begins his “On Atoms” by declaring that “All bodies whatsoever, except atoms themselves, must be composed of atoms, or of bodies that are indiscerpible, that cannot be made less, or whose parts cannot be.

	Henry David Thoreau
		His philosophical explorations of self and world led him to develop an epistemology of embodied perception and a non-dualistic account of mental and material life.
		It is a rousing summons to the examined life and to the realization of one's potential, while at the same time it develops what might be described as a religious vision of the human being and the universe.
		Ever so gradually, contemporary philosophers are discovering how much Thoreau has to teach—especially, in the areas of knowledge and perception, and in ethical debates about the value of land and life.

		There are many theologians and philosophers of religion who take their bearings from Wittgenstein, both 'realists' (God is real) and 'non-realists' (God is a projection).
		There is a deeper philosophical claim: being and knowledge are not the same -- "Being is independent of knowing, which is a transient event earnestly disclaiming any grip on being" (Sellars 200).
		This dovetails with the argument of those philosophers of rhetoric who have insisted that rhetoric is "epistemic," that is, we are "participating in making reality," in altering epistemic judgements within the constraints of sensory data, which they believe is meaningless of itself.

		Edwards has a sardonic wit that I can especially appreciate, and he often interrupts his empirical analysis to skewer a number of targets, including religious fundamentalism.
		Both Edwards and Lewis seem oblivious to the truism that atheism can be as much of a religion as theism, and the destruction wrought during the 20th century by atheistic governments in Germany and Soviet Russia suggest that it can be just as deadly.
		Edwards brings his usual incisiveness, clarity, and wit to bear on ancient beliefs that underlie much of the fuzzy thinking of the New Age movement.

	Guidelines for Authors [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Major philosophers may require a series of articles to adequately cover the scope of their contributions; see for example the sets of articles on Aristotle and Hume.
		The bulk of the article will consist of a discussion of the philosopher's main philosophical contributions; in most cases a topical presentation of this material is preferred over a strictly chronological presentation.
		The discussion might include influences on the philosopher, traditional criticisms of the philosopher, and the impact of the philosopher on later philosophers.

		In his lectures on the philosophy of history delivered in the early nineteenth century, the German philosopher G. Hegel argued that history was a slaughter bench on which the happiness of individuals was sacrificed.
		There is almost no discussion of Heidegger because most subscribers looking for philosophical discussions are put off by the frequent posts from morally superior fascists and marxists spouting the usual anti-american and anti-semitic prejudices that passes for thinking in so many places these days.
		Paul Edwards is someone persons who haven't read, and would prefer to continue to ignore, Heidegger point to when they dismiss the need to re-examine the forgotten ontology in western metaphysics.

	Introduction to Mill Supplement
		James Mill [1773-1836] was a Scottish philosopher, historian, and economist.
		His office and employment made it impossible for him to continue some of the active (radical) political action he had pursued as a writer, but his influence in the growing utilitarian movement was significant.
		While Mill's publications are not always noted for their philosophic depth, it is clear that he had a significant effect upon society, and that his thought was also influential upon subsequent thinkers.

	Voltaire by Thomas S. Vernon
		In the article entitled "Religion" in his Philosophical Dictionary Voltaire describes a vision in which he beholds a vast plain covered with huge piles of human bones which he learns are the remains of the innumerable victims of religious persecution.
		Besterman writes: "In the eighteenth century, as under Edward VII, appearance was all; one could get away with almost anything as long as one was not caught, or if caught, swore solemnly that 'it wasn't me.'" The it-wasn't-me strategy was used frequently by Voltaire, who stoutly denied authorship of writings that created a furor.
		In 1792, his remains were moved to the Pantheon, but at the beginning of the Restoration his tomb was vandalized and his bones scattered.

		There are encyclopedia-like summaries of all the great philosophers, and most major works of major philosophers can be downloaded for free.
		Philosophers like Descartes make "category mistakes" when they understand mental language through metaphors and concepts inappropriately borrowed form the language used for talking about the physical world.
		Taking mental terms to refer to "mental processes"" which are the analogues of physical processes is part of the "dogma of the ghost in the machine" which we ought too overcome.
