Ought it be? That certainly seems to be the point of blogrolls. I respect Brian Weatherson (of Thoughts, Arguments and Rants) quite a bit, and he seems to respect Brian Leiter, as I think does Lawrence Solum of Legal Theory Blog, but as far as I can tell (mostly from his blog) Leiter is exactly the type that Nietzsche was referring to when he wrote
not to speak of the stupidity of moral indignation, which is the unfailing sign in a philosopher that his philosophical sense of humor has left him.- Beyond Good And Evil (tr. Walter Kaufmann)
I picked up Leiter's Nietzche on Morality at Borders today, figuring I'd give him a chance. I'm hoping he comes off better when he's firmly ensconced, hunchbacked, in his scholarly nook.
