Talk:Elliott Sober

Untitled
Sober is becoming important in philosophy of biology, so I thought I get an article started on him and see if others could start contributing overviews of his philosophy which are drawn from his publications. -- User:Brinticus


 * Brinticus--good start. Sober's been influential for over 20 years, so I changed the entry to indicate that his notoriety is not recent. 131.210.4.95 21:39, 19 December 2005 (UTC)


 * This brief article about an upcoming lecture on intelligent design indirectly lead me here to look him up.  This is the first I have heard or read about him.  Should this lecture be linked or mentioned?  Mr Christopher 04:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I added some info on Sober's work in Simplicity -- he has published extensively on this particular subject. It could do with a lot more work, though. Sober's ideas in the field are very sound... Palthrow 04:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see this page is starting to get some modification. Perhaps a student of Sober which knows his work could contribute a basic overview of the development of his thought. User:Brinticus 26 May 2006

Whatever happened to this book? I don't think it was ever published, all the same I've read a citation to it by Peter Godfrey-Smith and I found this google books entry. --Firefly322 (talk) 14:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
