Trends

If your not a TAR reader, this is a pointer to Brian Weatherson's post (march 2006) on (some) recent Big Ideas in philosophy.
The exercise seems both worth doing and worth reading, and it would probably be a good thing if it could be somewhat generalized along author and subject matter variables.

The Margaret Thatcher Illusion (here).

[from Mixing memory via Semantics etc.]
