PR: New Philosophical Web Site launched

New Philosophical Website Launched, www.CognitiveDissidents.org

CognitiveDissidents.org is a diverse community of engaged philosophers and
philosophically oriented intellectuals. We are interested in writing about
social and political issues, both historical and contemporary, domestic and
international. We view ourselves as contributing to well informed and
analytically substantive discourse focused on issues of moral concern in the
public domain. CognitiveDissidents.org assumes that no individual or
institution is exempt from moral critique; the website is therefore ardently
unaffiliated. CognitiveDissidents.org is a unique space amid today's blogs and
journals of opinion. We welcome readers seeking lively, relevant, and serious
writing. Our website is an art piece by Joe Namy, who is part of the Other
Arab Artists Collective in Detroit [www.otherart.org]. You can see more of
Joe's work at www.olivetones.com.

This first issue of CognitiveDissidents.org is dedicated to all the innocent
victims in the world, particularly those whose deaths were forgotten,
rationalized, and explained away as collateral damage.
