the University of Paris 7–Denis Diderot,
in the New York Times column "The Stone"
(print edition published Sunday, June 5, 2016)

The Stoner Series
A reader comments on yesterday afternoon's New York Times
"The Stone" column by Justin E.H. Smith—
"I did indeed appreciate Mr. Smith’s essay.
And I’m curious as to what future contributions of his,
to the Stoner series, that we can look forward to."

Return of the Stone
The New York Times philosophy column "The Stone" has returned—
"There will certainly always be a place for epistemology,
or the theory of knowledge. But in order for a theory of
knowledge to tell us much, it needs to draw on examples
of knowledge of something or other." — Justin E.H. Smith
Amen.
Examples: Quine on geometry and Quine on universals.
