I had no luck in the final of the 3 Quarks Daily contest for the best blog post in philosophy, but I was happy just to take part and make it that far. The three winners have been announced and you can see Akeel Bilgrami’s, who judged the final, comments behind the link as well.

3 Quarks Daily Finalist

The finalists for the 3 Quarks Daily philosophy blog post contest have been determined, and I’m pleased that my post on Counterfactuals and Modal Epistemology has made it into the final. Here are all the finalists in alphabetical order:

  1. Brian Leiter’s Nietzsche Blog: Katsafanas on “Nietzsche’s Philosophical Psychology”
  2. Justin Erik Halldor Smith: More on Non-Western Philosophy (the Very Idea)
  3. Minds and Brains: The Myth of Sensory Immediacy – Why Berkeley Was Wrong
  4. PEA Soup: Am I a Consequentialist?
  5. Philotropes: Do folks think that consciousness matters for moral responsibility?
  6. The Immanent Frame: Secularism, atheism, antihumanism
  7. Tomkow: The Retributive Theory of Property
  8. TTahko: Counterfactuals and Modal Epistemology
  9. Yeah, OK, But Still: Marriage

It is perhaps worth noting that my post is really the only one in metaphysics — there weren’t even very many entries in metaphysics. The winners will be selected by Akeel Bilgrami and announced on September 22.

I’m pleased to report that my entry for the 3 Quarks Daily best philosophy blog post made it to the semifinals. Check out the other top 20 semifinalists on the website. Not necessarily a huge indication of esteem since anyone was eligible to vote for the entries, but nevertheless. Fingers crossed for a spot in the final! If you haven’t seen it yet, my entry is a post on Counterfactuals and Modal Epistemology.

Oh, and I can post this Semifinalist banner here as well:
