I can't find the Hawking post on Feser's blog. Do you perhaps have a link? He did publish a review of Hawking's book on National Review Online; could that be where you saw it? It was apparently for subscribers only. Are you a subscriber to NRO?
Hawking's contention that philosophy is dead is a rather obvious nonstarter. It's been soundly refuted by a host of philosophers (including Feser) and even some scientists. I don't take your mangling of Feser's name seriously. I just think it's juvenile. BTW, did you notice that Curtis doesn't go along with your metaphysical scientistic assertion that only what is measurable is real? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : The trouble I had with the Ed Fess blog is that he accuses Stephen Hawking of being a poor thinker because he didn't "understand" that the laws of nature would have to be around before the particles they govern. This incorrect and funnily enough it does to Hawking exactly what Ed Fess accuses everyone else of doing to theists. Paying them an injustice by not understanding their position! I'll have to dig up Hawking's quote on why philosophy is dead. BTW Judy, I will torment you no longer. Ed Fess is simply the sort of jokey thing people do to names these days to puncture pomposity and give them a bit of ironic street cred. We do it to uncool politicians in particular. No need to take it seriously.
