New Year Greetings

Happy New Year to all thinkBuddha readers from Paris, where I’m celebrating with friends. This year, amongst other things, thinkBuddha turned three, I made the move from working as a wandering philosophy and writing teacher to a taking on a permanent university post, and I have found myself increasingly preoccupied with the relationship between understandings of the world drawn from the sciences and the question of human practice (for example here, here and here).

As usual, I have no idea where my changing preoccupations will take me, but I’m looking forward to seeing what comes to light in 2009. For the time being, however, I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has visited, read and contributed over the past twelve months. It has been a pleasure.

And a happy new year to you, too! Congratulations on securing a “permanent” position, a fortunate thing in the current global economy.

Of course, there’s no such thing as a truly permanent position…
