• Butterfly and Wheel

  The illustration for the previous entry,

  

  taken from fowlesbooks.com,
  suggests more links:

  1. To Butterflies and Wheels* (banner below),
  
  

  a site that attacks Mary Midgley, and

  2. To an AAAS site offering Midgley’s

  Evolution as a Religion: A Comparison of Prophecies

  I personally prefer Midgley,
  an Oxford-trained philosopher
  also known as
  Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary.

  “crucified on the wheel of time.”
