Just that my math is non-existent, and I think we can all agree that the conclusions of the Kant essay have been left in the past (as he stated).

BTB, really enjoying Fanged Noumena right now. That essay on Kant should be required reading — I could never appreciate the full how & why he was such a BFD before.

It certainly looks to me as though his main critics are neo-Darwinists, accusing him of abandoning attachment to naturalistic explanation (you can’t really depart from materialism and remain a Darwinian in good standing).

I thought that the conflict was over materialism rather than Darwinism (Nagel is himself a Darwinian), though?
