PHILOSOPHICAL SUPERHEROES

Both Sappho's Breathing and John Scalzi are linking to these guys (all guys, yes, no Hannah Arendt, no Simone de Beauvoir), and they are certainly worth a visit.  But both Scalzi and Cleis are Philosophy Scholars - I believe I have somewhere read that Scalzi was a Philo major, and Cleis is studying it right now.  Feminist Philosophy, for her part.  These Superheroes may have a limited audience.  Since I went to a Catholic University, well, no, TWO of them, I have more than a passing aquaintance with all of these sages.  We were required to take years of philosophy.  It was never exactly my strong suit, however.

I loved those superheroes!  I got my B.A. in Philosophy, too...it's something solely designed to make people go "Huh?" when you say what you have your degree in. And we have these cool superheroes now, what other major can say that?
