Horses for (Philosophy) Courses - a postscript

So shaken was I on Friday upon encountering Philosophy and Equine Studies (Northampton University), I failed in my duty to come up with the appropriate course-notes.

Fortunately, Mrs D has helped rectify this omission, observing that at least this strange degree puts Descartes before the horse . . .

Happily, too, it lends itself to the detailed study of Thomas Equinas.

However, it takes the great 18th century German thinkers at a Kanter.

Fetch some Straw,son

I shall have to get off this Hobbe-horse . . .
