Dining tonight 2007-04-17T14:10:10ZTitled entry permalink

Following in the tradition of Dave Winer, I am having dinner tonight at the Thai Terrace Restaurant in Wright's Lane, Kensington, London. Feel free to join me at 7:30pm.

To get to the Thai Terrace Restaurant, come out of High Street Kensington tube station, turn left and left again. It's number 14. The food is really good, and not too expensive either.

Who'll be there? Well, Ian Forrester from BBC Backstage who's organised the event, and Paul Boag, podcaster and web designer.

If you can come, stick your name on upcoming.org or on the Geekdinner blog. Or just turn up. I'll make sure to post to Twitter from the event just to keep the attention stream running.

Faith-informed scholarship 2007-04-17T14:34:36ZTitled entry permalink

noun. What we used to call 'lies', but now some people want to be 'truth' - or rather 'truths'.

These people then object that we accept - in the humanities, at least - say, a Marxist analysis of a piece of literature.

Ah, but one does not see this quite right: "A Marxist analysis of x" is short-hand for "An analysis of x with relation to Marxism". On that basis, "an analysis of x with relation to Buddhism" is equally acceptable, but language has dictated that when religion is brought up, it is usually brought up by a religious person with the intention to proselytize.

Get your own flock in order and then someone might take faith-informed scholarship serioulsy.

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
