PRIZE FOR BEST GRADUATE STUDENT ESSAY:
An award of $100 will be awarded for the best essay submitted by a graduate student. If you wish to be considered for this award, please indicate this fact in your cover letter. Graduate students whose proposals are accepted for the conference will be asked to submit complete papers (of no more than 3000 words) by September 15th for award consideration. As before, papers must be submitted as attachments without identifying information. The winner will be announced during the conference.
The International Association for Environmental Philosophy offers a forum for the philosophical discussion of our relation to the natural environment. Embracing a broad understanding of environmental philosophy, IAEP encourages papers in the areas of not only environmental ethics, but also environmental aesthetics, ontology, theology, the philosophy of science, political philosophy, ecofeminism, the philosophy of technology, and the like. IAEP welcomes a diversity of approaches to issues in these areas, including those inspired by Continental philosophy, the history of philosophy, and the tradition of American philosophy.

It never surprises me when I hear or see comments from people claiming some disaster has been hurled at an area or some people because of their beliefs or lack of them. It is an easy position to take up and says a lot about those people who are so quick to throw their brickbats.
If they were just half as christian (I say this with a small “c” to indicate an ideology rather than a diadactic position), then they would express themselves in holy terms rather than holier than thou terms – all too willing to criticise.
Maybe they should take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror from time to time – Let he who is without sin…” and all that
Please note: I do not take a religious position when I make this comment 🙂
Nice image from Mars. Hope the best essay wins 🙂
I like your blog’s post and all and i enjoy the template and the colour but probably it requires a different feel to it, its been awhile, who else agrees with me?
