Official institutions are the basic instruments that structure human life meaning-
fully. Thus, when civilization collapses, chaos appears. The road described by
McCarthy in his novel is an instrument for civilization: the same path built for

There’s at least one thing the ancient Greeks got right—when doing philosophy
you’ll want to have plenty of beer. Taking this nugget of wisdom to heart, the
people at LogicMills have decided to do something about the drab and dreary
state of philosophy these days. Thus was born the monthly discussion series
Philosophy on Tap! The goal of this venture is to provide a public forum for
unfettered debate and conjecture on assorted topics of social, political, ethical,
aesthetic, and/or metaphysical relevance. Anyone and everyone interested in
thought provoking conversation is requested to attend. No prior philosophical
experience required!
