My colleague Sahotra Sarkar is professor of both philosophy and biology here at UT Austin; indeed, he is, to the best of my knowledge, the only philosophy PhD in the U.S. to have published work of such significance in peer-reviewed biology journals that he has now been appointed half-time and with tenure in a top biology department.

Although Professor Sarkar and I have our disagreements (most notably, about ducks–just wait to the SBOE starts reviewing zoology textbooks!), I must commend his thoughtful revisions to the Discovery [sic] Institute letter to the Texas State Board of Education from Texas professors.

UPDATE: Another colleague from the Department of Government, upon reviewing Professor Sarkar’s judicious editing, remarks:

“I commend you for the additions to this letter to the State Board of Education. There is, however, a serious omission in failing to address the fashionable, widely-taught and politically correct Spherical Earth theory, which anyone walking flat on the ground knows could not be true. I refer to you to the important work of the Flat Earth Society .”
