I (and many other blind cc's) just received an e-mail from David Velleman entitled "New Blog -- Please Post, Please Link." I hear and obey--here's the post and the link (http://left2right.typepad.com/main/). (I'm blogrolling it under "Philosophy" because many of the posts are philosophically informed.)
The blog is called "Left2Right" and, to quote the initial post,
In the aftermath of the 2004 Presidential election, many of us have come to believe that the Left must learn how to speak more effectively to ears attuned to the Right. How can we better express our values? Can we learn from conservative critiques of those values? Are there conservative values that we should be more forthright about sharing? "Left2Right" will be a discussion of these and related questions.Although we have chosen the subtitle "How can the Left get through to the Right?", our view is that the way to get through to people is to listen to them and be willing to learn from them. Many of us identify ourselves with the Left, but others are moderates or independents. What we share is an interest in exploring how American political discourse can get beyond the usual talking points.
It looks to have a lot of interesting stuff. Try this and this.
A list of the bloggers below the jump. I'm particularly happy that I get to blogroll someone whose work I've taught this term.
