And has the BBC fact-checked this too?
*Honest Reporting* has a post today about a BBC Travel article headlined *Israel's ancient underwater treasure. * They say, quite rightly, that it's an interesting piece, but they note something peculiar about it: there's a missing word that begins with 'j'.

Isn't that quite something (he says, putting it mildly)? I have to say though that *Hones... more »

Should a Philosophical System Have a Name?
The major philosophers in history— Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Hobbes, Descartes, Hume, Locke, Kant and Hegel—have not given a name to their philosophy. The trend of philosophers giving a name to their philosophical system is less than two hundred years old—it took off in the 19th century and became a widespread phenomenon in the 20th century when almost every popular philosopher and his sidekick were bestowing a name to their system. Auguste Comte coined the name “*Altruism*” for his philosophy in the 1850s. C. S. Peirce used the word “*Pragmatism*” for the first time in the 1870s... more »
