More Boxing the Pox on Vox

(Steven Hayward) Vox's historical illiteracy is not their only embarrassment this week. Philosopher Brian Leiter, who runs one of the most widely-read academic blogs (Leiter Reports), tells the story of how Vox solicited an article from Torbjorn Tannsjo, a well-regarded philosopher at Stockholm University, about the concept known as the "repugnant conclusion," which is a recondite approach to thinking about population issues. (If you're really curious, see this, but otherwise never mind.)
