I had read natural sciences before going up to Cambridge, but knew I wanted to shift to the humanities. Simon Blackburn:Curiously, I became a philosopher by accident. You substitute the name ‘philosophy’ with ‘conceptual engineering’ in that book – so what are the new preferable connotations of this term? He doesn't dumb-down but brings people up to philosophy, which makes him a jive jewell radical.ģ:AM:Why did you become a philosopher? In Thinkyou say that philosophy has connotations of impracticality, unworldliness and weirdness and seem to think that this is bad (they seem pretty attractive connotations to me!).
So we'd better make sure we're ok with it all. So he's a tough-minded whisperer out to topple injustices and remind people that we're all in the grip of some ideas from somewhere and someone for some reason somehow. He has written many booksso that people are clear that the citadel of conservativism is prey to the whispers of doubt. Simon Blackburnis a groovy humanist philosopher who sticks it to the Pope and thinks respect can't be taken for granted. Simon Blackburninterviewed by Richard Marshall.
