SELECTED
UNPUBLISHED PAPERS
These papers, here listed in
reverse chronological order, were prepared for various invited
lectures, conferences, colloquia, course lectures, and in the
earliest listings, for courses and seminars in which I was a
student. In a few cases, I have also included papers that were
rejected for publication. All are listed according to the
dates of major composition.
Many unpublished papers (in particular, the student and
conference papers), will be found to be highly technical and
thus of interest (if any) only to those familiar with the
vocabulary and issues of professional academic philosophy.
I include them here because I find myself referring to them in
correspondence and conversation with professional philosophers.
Technical papers will be identified below with an asterisk (*).
Additional unpublished papers will be found in The Online
Gadfly sections "Editorials," "About Politics," "About Ecology," "About War and Peace
Issues," "About Russian Environmentalism" and "Journal Entries
[etc.]....," linked below. Altogether, these are a small
fraction of unpublished work still in my files, most of which
will not be added to The Online Gadfly.
As this posting (October, 2009), the project of collecting and
adding unpublished work to this website is underway, with many
more papers still to be added. Thanks to advances in optical
character recognition and voice recognition software, the once
onerous task of retyping is obsolete, and inclusion of these
papers has now become practicable.
