Ed Erwin Again
Ed Erwin Again
It’s nice to receive two laudatory messages about Ed Erwin from Michael Tooley and Alan Goldman, both old colleagues of Ed’s at Miami (now posted under my brief notice of his death in May 2022). I observe, however, that neither the Brian Leiter blog nor Daily Nous has posted any notice of his death. I wonder why. Has no one informed them of it or have they decided not to mention it? Is the Miami philosophy department responsible or have they simply chosen to omit it? It seems very strange to me, though depressingly predictable.
I’m glad to see that Leiter has now posted a notice of Ed’s death with some nice comments from friends and ex-colleagues (none from the colleagues he had in recent years at the University of Miami: no comment).
I found out about Ed’s death only today, and just posted a comment:

It’s a good comment on Ed.
