You, Mele, Doris, Knobe, and Woolfolk

Because YOU demanded, because it cannot be stopped— at most we can only hope to contain it — the GFP is hereby announcing . . .

The Inaugural Session of The Garden of Forking Paths Reading Group!!!!

(imagine majestic music and dancing spotlights)

Here's the scoop:

If you are down (and you know you want to be): You will read Doris, Knobe, and Woolfolk's paper "Variantism about Responsibility." It is available on ye olde Papers Blog here.

You will read this before the week of August 21st.

Sometime during the week of August 21st, resident Super Famous Philosopher Al "Da Shark" Mele will unload some ruminations and deliberations pertaining to the afore-mentioned paper. You will then post responses and thoughts of your own. Electronic conversating will ensue, and the legend of the GFP Reading Group will be born.

You have a month. Be ready or it won't be purty.

I believe it might be appropriate to offer the following expostulation....

Woo hoo!

Thanks for setting this up, Manuel. If it's a success, perhaps we might make it a regular feature (with a paper every month or so).

I neglected to mention that we've got a bunch of Super Famous Philosophers willing to do this, so I think we should be able to do this fairly regularly if there is interest and support. More Big Names and paper announcements to follow.
