Gosh I really liked this. I’ve been feeling burnt out on moral praise and blame debates but Miranda Fricker had a nice approach. I really liked the way she called the determinist position of “no blame for anyone” a metaphysical argument for a natural / social situation. Wrong tool. #PhilSky

A few weeks after The Selfish Gene was published, Kenny took part in an event with Dawkins at Balliol organised by Denis Noble. There, he is said to have mocked the idea of replicators by asking Dawkins: “If all I knew about English was its alphabet, how could I possibly understand Shakespeare?”

Is there a link to original debate?

I'm not actually sure...I found it in the Popper archives about 25 years ago, and rediscovered it recently. It's just Popper having a big bust up with someone (there were quite a few of these....)

It wasn't really that the BBC wouldn't find it - but frustration at how difficult it was to get philosophy programmes commissioned. After Philosophy Bites appeared, it became easier!

Just finished the audiobook of @davidedmonds100.bsky.social's biography of Derek Parfit. Very much enjoyed it, both for the personal angle and the accessible summaries of various philosophical debates. I guess now I have to add "Wittgenstein's Poker" to my list, because that one also sounds great.

From the bestselling coauthor of Wittgenstein’s Poker, an entertaining and illuminating biography of a brilliant philosopher who tried to rescue morality from nihilism
