RE IGNORAMITOCRACY AND AN OLD ARTICLE BY PETER WINCH

I was looking again at Winch's article 'Nature and Convention', in Ethics and Action.


He makes some interesting connections, between fair play (not 'justice as fairness'; I am not one of those acolytes of Rawls....), integrity, the sciences, and experts. He even manages to weave a brief reference to Joe McCarthy, and his show of pseudo-expertise, into the argument. 


It seems a rather inconclusive essay in some ways, but filled with wonderful implications. 


Of continuing relevance is the discussion of nature and convention, is W K C Guthrie's Volume Three of A History Of Greek Philosophy.
