Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophy vs. Ideology
Today I’d like to explore some implications of my recent series of posts about the nature of opinion; specifically, the dangers of ideology.

Peter Saint-Andre: There’s No Such Thing as a Kudo
It always warms my heart when we import a word directly from ancient Greek into English. Often they are are philosophical locutions, such eudaimonia and ataraxia. Yet at times more mundane terms make the leap; perhaps the most common one these days is kudos (e.g., “kudos to you on aceing that algebra test!”). Consistent with modern English usage, people tend to pronounce it “koo-doze” and think of it as a plural (“that algebra test was really hard so you deserve many kudos for ac … ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: Opinions Weak and Strong
Continuing a thread that I started to explore earlier this year, I’d like to take a closer look at the intensity of opinions. Here as almost everywhere, there is a continuum: we all have opinions we hold strongly and opinions we hold weakly. Not only do the specific contents of these buckets change over time, but in general the intensity of one’s opinions can change over time, too. We’re all familiar with the sophomoric young adult who has strong opinions about everything (yes, I resemb … ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: Meditations on Bach #6: Further Instrumental Considerations
Although the first five of Bach’s suites for unaccompanied cello lie quite naturally on the bass (when tuned in fifths, that is!), the sixth suite in D major (BWV 1012) is a slightly different story because it was originally written for an instrument with five strings, not four. The exact identity of this instrument remains a mystery - some think it was written for a viola de spalla, others for a violoncello piccolo. Whatever the truth of the matter, p … ⌘ Read more
