Noah's Ark

Just a quick post, this one. I’ve just had a guest blog post published over with the lovely folks at Legend Press. The post says a little bit about how I came to write my philosophy book Finding Our Sea-Legs. Here’s an extract:

Sometimes reading philosophy can be like visiting a natural history museum – fascinating, compelling, thought-provoking, perhaps, but when it comes down to it, all the animals are stuffed. I like to think that Finding Our Sea-Legs is less like a taxidermist’s collection, and more like a zoo. Or, in keeping with the nautical theme, more like a zoo afloat, a raucous philosophical Noah’s Ark, populated by talking fish, philosophical woodpeckers, rutting buffalo and palmwine-stealing gods.
