In case any of you are interested: Carlin Romano, the philosopher/journalist from the Chronicle of Higher Education, is appearing Sunday afternoon at this year's Southern Festival of Books, talking about his new tome America the Philosophical: 1 pm at the public library downtown, conference room #1B.
Monday update: The epilogue of Romano's book is called "Obama, "Philosopher in Chief." Yesterday in the New York Times, Harvey Cormier also opined that Obama is a pragmatist in the philosophical (not just the political) sense of the word. For better or worse.
