Goldman Desktop Wallpaper

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

Andrew Cullison thinks that philosophers should have desktop wallpapers that represent their philosophical heroes. (In his case that would be Roderick Chisholm.) I take my philosophical responsibilities seriously and easily picked up on the normative aspect of Andrew's post. I think he's got a good stab at a principle, but it's just a little strong in the 'hero' aspect. Wouldn't something closer to 'star' or 'worthy of fandom' get more people under the bar?

In any case, here is my first stab at fulfilling my responsibilities and displaying my full geek pride. I made an Ubuntu desktop wallpaper that represents someone who has deeply influenced my philosophical thinking, Alvin Goldman. I thought Goldman was appropriate since I switched to ubuntu for its process reliability.
