S&F and Philosophy Now: Eating pygs
The following cartoon accompanied an article by Marcus Kaith about Eating Stupid Pigs (Issue 119, Philosophy Now). I .. er I mean Simon.. had a few issues with this premise as demonstrated in a prior post, but to recap the hypothesis is that if we ever were able to create a less intelligent pig (a ‘pyg’), this may justify our killing of them as they would supposedly feel less pain…
S&F and Philosophy Now: Whither thee, rights?
The following accompanied the print article of “What are Human Rights” by Tim Dare (Issue #118, Philosophy Now). The piece discusses how far human rights claims can stretch as an outcome of social axioms & varied definitions, for example whether we consider rights as “right-based claims” or rights that exist simply by virtue of being human. It’s more complicated than one would think…

S&F in Philosophy Now: What would George Bataille do?
The following accompanied the print version of: What would George Bataille Do? by Alexandra Tzirkoti (Issue #116, Philosophy Now). The article itself is a nice tongue-in-cheek intro to the thinking of a rather controversial figure (link below).

S&F in Philosophy Now: Conspiracy theory
The following cartoon accompanied the print version of Stephen Brewer’s article “The Conspiracy of Theories” (Issue 114, Philosophy Now). The piece “stealthily records a dialogue in which Freya argues that conspiracy theories are illogical, but Orin is not so sure”, proving that even the wildest of conspiracy theories can be reasonable so long as their principle axioms are consistent. Who knew!

S&F in Philosophy Now: Boozy musin’s
The following cartoon accompanied the print version of Robin Small’s piece on philosophy annnd – wait for it – cocktails! (“Philosophy & Cocktails” Issue 113 of Philosophy Now). In this delightful article the author explores the equally valid contribution cocktails have made to late night philosophical discussion, traditionally considered the primary purview of wine. For some easy reading on the subject, take a look at HuffPost’s New York Cocktail Philosophy: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/skye-cleary/new-york-cocktail-philoso_b_7827076.html
S&F in Philosophy Now: Friendship and Altruism
Hello! The following cartoon accompanied the print version of Daniel Tippen’s article: “Why Self-Interest Makes Relationships Valuable” (Issue 112 of Philosophy Now). In this article the author discusses the nature of friendship and its relationship to altruism. As altruism can take many forms, in this case it is argued that it is only genuine altruism that is the basis for true friendship.
S&F in Philosophy Now: The Free Will of Ebenezer Scrooge
The following cartoon accompanied the print version of The Free Will of Ebenezer Scrooge, by Richard Kamber (Philosophy Now, Issue 111).
The article, which delves into arguments relating to determinism and free will, is available here and the cartoon is loosely based on a very bad morning indeed. 🙂
