Phlit:
A Newsletter on Philosophy and Literature

Phlit is published via e-mail, using a system called “Yahoo Groups”. To subscribe, write to Phlit-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. To unsubscribe, write to Phlit-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com. There’s no charge for the newsletter. I’m curious to know where you’re from, what your interests are, etc., so I hope you’ll write to me by clicking feedback.

You may submit your own writings by clicking feedback and telling me you want to submit something. Of course, I can’t promise to include all submissions in the newsletter. All articles are by L. James Hammond unless otherwise indicated. All articles are copyright their respective authors.

For about 10 years, I organized a philosophy discussion group, which met at a bookstore in Providence, Rhode Island. Phlit often discussed books that our book group read. If you want to see a list of what the group read since its inception in September 1998, click here.
