What is this?

This is David’s Newsletter, a place for me to post occasional articles of a popular nature. I am Professor of Philosophy at the University of Reading, England. Everything I post here is my opinion. It is not intended to represent, and should not be associated with, the opinions private or public of any officer of the university, of any other person who works at the university, of any student of the university, of any part of the university, or of the university as a whole. To repeat and to emphasise: I write in my personal capacity exclusively.
