THE DARWINISM WAS A TAD DUBIOUS...:
Professor, web entrepreneur Denis Dutton dies (The Press, 28/12/2010)
Born in California in 1944, Dutton received his PhD in philosophy from the University of California Santa Barbara in 1975 and joined the Canterbury staff in 1984.He received international acclaim for his Arts & Letters Daily website when it was named the best website in the world, three months after it was founded in 1998, by The Guardian.
Dutton sold the site to the Washington DC-based Chronicle of Higher Education in 1999 for a reported US$250,000 but continued as its editor.
...but the web site is one of the high points of the Internet. (And not just because ALD has linked to us for years--surely the least read site cited.) Farewell, Friend.
