I’m probably not going to get the
meta-ethics paper done this weekend, though I made a lot of progress. For those
who are curious: it’s at about 75 pages single-spaced right now; I’d be stunned
if it doesn’t end up topping 85 pages. So I seem to be in the habit of making
the rare extremely long post as opposed to making numerous smaller posts (at
least when it comes to philosophy; I doubt it will be the same for manga, video
games, etc. since my discussions there will be more self-contained). Given the extreme length of these posts, readers
may have trouble keeping track of all the arguments. As they say: “you can get
lost in the weeds,” or, “you miss the forest because of the trees.”
To remedy this problem, I will include a
sort of abridged argument map
for any of my long posts on philosophy (no, not that kind of “abridged series”).
This should allow to reader to see the core points I am trying to get at in
each section. And if the reader is curious about my supporting arguments for a
particular claim, they can just read the appropriate section in the full post.
I will definitely make maps for both “Ontological Arguments: A Critique” and my
two upcoming posts “Morality: Realism, Nihilism, and God” and “Morality:
Pluralism, Naturalism, and Nihilism.”
Hope this helps.
