3QD Philosophy Prize Semifinalists

Hello,

The voting round of our philosophy prize (details here) is over. A total of 565 votes were cast for the 64 nominees (click here for full list of nominees). Thanks to the nominators and the voters for participating.

Carla Goller, a South Tyrolean graphic artist, has designed a "trophy" logo that our top twenty vote-getters may choose to display on their own blogs. So here they are, in descending order from the most voted-for:

1. Der Wille Zur Macht und Sprachspiele: Nietzsche's Causal Essentialism
2. The Space of Reasons: A Counterexample to Setiya
3. Perverse Egalitarianism: Early Heidegger: Fundamental Ontology
4. Edge of the American West: All noble things are as difficult as they are rare
5. Larval Subjects: Object-Oriented Ontology and Scientific Naturalism
6. Specter of Reason: Wise on Intelligent Design in the Classroom
7. Another Heidegger Blog: Interview with Jeffery Malpas
8. The Immanent Frame: Immanent Spirituality
9. Blog & ~Blog: Graham Priest's Theory of Change
10. 3 Quarks Daily: The Temporal Prospects of Humanity
11. Larval Subjects: Speculative Realism and the Unheimlich
12. Cognition & Culture: Descarte's Skull
13. 3 Quarks Daily: Penne For Your Thought
14. Underverse: Refuting "It," Thus
15. The Garden of Forking Paths: Defining Determinism and Such

18. PEA Soup: Scanlon on Moral Responsibility and Blame
19. Philosophy, et cetera: Reflecting on Relativism
20. Strange Doctrines: Third-World Zombies and (Ana) Qualiac Reference

The daily editors of 3 Quarks Daily will now pick the top six entries from these, and after possibly adding up to three "wildcard" entries, will send that list of finalists to Professor Dan Dennett on September 11. We will also post the list of finalists here on that date.

Good luck!
