Hi all,
I wanted to take a minute to provide a brief overview and rough schedule for the new "Featured Philosophers" section of PEASoup. The Daves (or, as I like to refer to them, Dave, or D.A.V.E.) have put together a really nice lineup so far, which I know will generate a lot of interesting discussion. So, without further ado, here is the rough schedule as it appears now. (We also have a few other people lined up but not firmly scheduled yet.)
Late May: T.M. Scanlon
June: Mark Schroeder
Early July: David Enoch
Late July: Sally Haslanger
August: Elizabeth Anderson
August: Sharon Street
September: Connie Rosati
October: Julia Driver
November: Jamie Dreier
February: Justin D'arms and Dan Jacobson
As I said, a few more folks are in the mix, but haven't yet been scheduled. And there are surely many more to come! So stay tuned, and we hope you'll considering participating in what promises to be a very interesting set of exchanges. Let's all thank Dave for setting this up!
Fantastic!

Wow! This looks great. Are we just supposed to plan to post objections/questions to some of their specific views?

Yes, just fantastic. What a great new contribution to the Soup!

Hi Brad,
The idea is that there will be (roughly) two ways for the featured philosopher to do this. The first would be just to post something they're interested in, PEASoup-style. The other would just be to take questions on their views generally for a few days. We're leaving it up to them.
