Furthermore there are lots of pictures from several epochs about St. Augustine and his works.
[29 Dec 99] Skeptic News
The Skeptic News attempts to help users find recent skeptic-related news by helping those operating skeptic-related web sites to publicize recent changes. In other words, it acts as a "What's New" page for skeptics. The intent is not for users to spend large amounts of time at this site. Instead, this will be a web site which users visit briefly (but frequently) to learn which web sites they should visit today. There are hundreds of web sites out there for the skeptic. This page can help reduce the chances that you will miss something, while at the same time reduce the time spent visiting sites that haven't change. Incidentally, this site is also the home of the Skeptic Ring.

SUPERIOR SITE Winners
[24 Apr 00] Metaphysics by Default
Can metaphysical philosophy be reconciled to naturalism? In this paper, the author argues that it can. The challenge of the reconciliation is shown to lie in finding naturalistic foundations for metaphysical concepts. This paper focuses upon personal identity -- first analyzing the known naturalistic criteria of personal identity; then interpreting the metaphysics which emerges from that analysis. An initial, qualitative metaphysics is discussed and defended. Thereafter, the author quantifies several aggregate metaphysical results. Along the way, a historical precedent is reconstructed from the Arabic writings of Fatimid Hellenists. At the end, the author sets forward the philosophy's potential benefits: contemporary ethical and ecological difficulties are seen to be resolved within the context of this new metaphysics.
