Kurš ir izcilākais Kembridžas filozofs?

The evening of the first day of the
Alumni Weekend last September saw
the Faculty mounting a light-hearted
debate: who was Cambridge’s
greatest philosopher? We had
selected four candidates: Ludwig
Wittgenstein was sponsored by Jane
Heal, Bertrand Russell by Arif
Ahmed, Frank Ramsey by Hugh
Mellor, and Francis Bacon by myself [Simon Blackburn]
[...]
Somewhat to everyone’s surprise,
Bacon romped home, with something
over 90 votes, beating Ramsey (41)
and Russell (40) with poor Wittgenstein
(25) trailing the field.
No šejienes

Šī doma man ir tuva:
If you asked me what is the one thing I want my students to remember when they leave Cambridge, I’d say this: to think for themselves. I am surprised at how many people still think we should “respect” beliefs that are “deeply” or widely held, regardless of how bigoted or superstitious they are (I am thinking particularly but not exclusively of religious beliefs). I think that is all wrong. I think we should only respect beliefs that have some basis in reason and experience. We should suspect those that rest solely on tradition and authority. (..) I think the teaching of philosophy at universities, when done properly, can do much to promote this attitude. (Why Believe the Axioms?, p. 3)
