Interesting, but it doesn't mean I subscribe to, Scalia's views on
something being 'perfectly legal' but 'abominable' in judgement, and his going
on
to criticise the professor's 'poor judgement'.
I once had a similar project. We had to retrieve all private information
about Alcebiades (we were discussing "The Symposium"). I for one, did not
know he died his hair.
Scandals in philosophy:
Logician Montague was killed by a sailor.
A few philosophers committed suicide (and then they died).
Actually this Althusser first killed his wife (so he was a paulo-future
killer) and then killed hisself.
Socrates was hisself charged with having 'corrupted' the young. But
philosophers had been very careful since. Nobody else has!
Wittgenstein attacked Russell with a pike.
Russell was a multigamist.
Wittgenstein was diagnosed with some sort of mental disorder, in Finnland.
Diogenes had swine flu (for not washing his left hand after doing it).
Mary Daly conducted a seminar for 'girls-only', and this was found illegal.
Aristotle charged his students a fee in drachma.
Strawson sent "Meaning" to the Philosophical Review signing "H. P. Grice".
etc.
Writers are even more scandalous. Notably Lamb's sister. She killed her
own mother.
