LINKS:
*Jacob Levy on, among other things, ethics and virtue (there was a longer post planned on this one, saying a bit more about Grotius' rejection of virtue as a way of talking about morality in political life, but it got hung up on the question of whether the aim towards a goal on the part of an individual is the central feature of virtue, and exactly how integral Aristotle's distinction between the virtuous action and the action done virtuously is to a definition of virtue. Stupid Aristotle)
*Norm Geras on Mansfield Park. It's at times like this that I wish the internet could produce that great quote from Metropolitan about Fanny Price. Stupid internet.
*An interesting post on The Satanic Verses
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
