#Midgley is what happens if #ElonMusk was actually an inventor and had actual skills but lived in the 1920s.

Your occasional reminder that Mary Midgley's book "The Myths We Live By" is #OpenAccess and you should read it.

"We are accustomed to think of myths as the opposite of science. But in fact they are a central part of it: the part that decides its significance in our lives. So we very much need to understand them."

#Midgley #Philosophy

This #review by #ThomasNagel about two books about Elizabeth #Anscombe, Philippa #Foot, Mary #Midgley & Iris #Murdoch really helped me to understand their impact & their philosophical achievements, but it’s also rather sweet , because at the end he discloses that he knew tree of them personally & is very proud of this.
