    Humanists will likely be interested in the following two online publications:

    (1) "Reality Principals: An Interview with John R. Searle. Eminent
    philosopher John R. Searle defends free speech, free inquiry, and the
    Enlightenment", Reason Online (2/2000)
    <http://www.reasonmag.com/0002/fe.ef.reality.html>.

    (2) "Constructions of the Mind: Artificial Intelligence and the
    Humanities", Stanford Humanities Review 4.2
    <http://www.stanford.edu/group/SHR/4-2/text/toc.html>. (This one
    points to articles on shr.stanford.edu, which seems to have been
    down for the last couple of days. Does anyone know what the
    problem is?)

    Yours,

    Willard, I must admit to being less than enchanted by The Dialectizer.
    The Elmer Fudd and the Pig Latin work okay because they are simply
    rewrite rules (wewite oolrays). But the others work at about the level
    of newspaper Sunday Supplements, which is to say, not hardly at all.
    Only as bad stereotyping of rich materials. Having lived in Redneck
    Territory for years and years, I find the presentation offensive,
    actually.
