Back to my home page.
Though I'm always planning to organize it a bit, this
page is
likely to remain a random assortment of stuff, mixing my work
and some of my favourite academic and other stuff.
Online
resources, bibliographies, links
I try to keep putting together some online bibliographies and
resource lists in the areas I work in.
Here is an embryonic index of resource pages on Philosophy
and Cognitive Science. The most extensive bits at the moment are a
set
of Philosophy
and Cognitive Science Links and Websites plus some resources on Dynamicist
cognitive science, including an updated
section on Andy
Clark's recent work, and on Cognitive
science and continental philosophy.
Here is a resource page for the Interdisciplinary
Study of Memory, which now has pages linked on the history of
theories of memory, the
philosophy of memory, memory
and self, the cognitive psychology of memory, social memory and
collective memory, and recovered memory
and false memory.
Here's the beginning of another page on the Interdisciplinary
Study of Dreams.
Resources on Sir
Kenelm Digby.
The Animal
Spirits page.

season of Philosophy Nights: Olympics of the Mind at
the Steki

season of Philosophy Nights)
Info on my plays Empedocles:
love and strife and Kenelm Digby
and the Liquid Empire
In an earlier life, I acted and directed plays quite a bit,
at uni in the UK and Australia, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1987
and 1988, and the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 1990
with the notorious Bastinado Theatre Company at the Balcony Theatre on
Gouger St. Some of the plays I directed were
Schnitzler's La Ronde, Kundera's
reworking of Diderot Jacques and His
Master,
Marston's Jacobean tragedy The Malcontent, Ionesco's The Killer (Tueur sans gages), Durrell's
Sappho, Sartre's Kean,
Picasso's Desire
Caught by the Tail (my favourite, in The Cellar at Sydney Uni,
May 1989), Brett Adam's award-winning new
play Clearest
Night, and a disastrous attempt at a Jacobean mash-up Wildfire at Midnight.
<>Here is the mighty Macquarie
University
Cricket Club, premiers 3rd-time-running in the
Sydney
Masters (over 40s) comp with a run of
31 consecutive
wins since 19 Feb 2006!!! I've played for MUCC since
2000-01, and was lucky enough to play in the winning 4th-grade
Shires premiership team in 2005-06 before
losing semi-finals in 3rd grade two years running - fielding for
155 overs is an unforgettable
experience, more so than just failing
to make 154 in 14 overs, but less so than winning
a grand final against Burwood.
Over the years I've played for a few other cricket clubs including Stirling County
in Scotland (1977 or so to 1988 with the odd wee game since),
Oxford University Authentics (the 'Tics,
1984-88, captain 1986), Eastern
Suburbs in Wellington (1996), and three grade clubs in Sydney,
Sutherland (1984), Sydney Uni (1989-90), and
Petersham (1991-92). I also captained Scotland Under 16 in 1982 and
Scotland Under 19 in
1984 and 1985, sadly in the days when our most
exotic tours were to Liverpool or North Wales rather than globetrotting
:) and our most
fearsome opponents were young legspinners
called Hussain and Atherton.
I also used to play chess quite a bit, over the board and by
correspondence and (later) email/ webserver. Some chess links:

Correspondence Chess Federation)
