About Me
- Russell Blackford
- I am an Australian philosopher, literary critic, and professional writer. My new book, from Wiley-Blackwell, is FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND THE SECULAR STATE. I'm editor-in-chief of The Journal of Evolution and Technology, an on-line, peer-reviewed journal. I am a Conjoint Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Newcastle, NSW. My formal qualifications include First Class Honours degrees in Arts and Law, and separate Ph.Ds in English literature and philosophy. The latter may seem extravagant, but I have my reasons! Feel free to follow me on Twitter (tweeting as "@Metamagician").

You should include more 'or get eaten by a bear' threats on your blog posts. It really makes them pop out on the google reader.
In your readings, have you come across Matt Flannagan, a Kiwi Christian philosopher? He writes a lot of good stuff on the topic of church and state, check out this one that got published in a mainstream magazine; http://www.mandm.org.nz/2011/09/contra-mundum-separating-church-and-state.html
He definitely has some strong arguments in there and I hope he challenges some of your stuff! Check out the rest of his site as he has heaps of posts on subjects that would interest you.
Gah, your gig's on a Thursday night, and I work night shifts. :(
Would have liked to meet you in person, Russell. More pertinently, I so don't want to be eaten by a bear.
Damn. Never mind - if you do survive the bear, there'll be other opportunities in Melb. (though they may also turn out to be on Tuesday nights).
The thing that kills me is this - I'm on break now til 16 Jan.
And my religious friends wonder why I don't believe in a benevolent God.
Whoops, I meant to say Thursday nights ... of course. Silly me.
