PHILOSOPEDIA . . .

Philosopedia is a free online search engine that uses the same free program

(GNU FDL Free Doc License; powered by MediaWiki) as that used by Wikipedia.

Smith started it in 2005 and is its sole owner.

On 26 September 2009 Philosopedia had the following recorded statistics:

There are 11,823 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about Philosopedia.org, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 3,312 pages that are probably legitimate content pages. 5,402 files have been uploaded. There have been a total of

2,338,542 page views, and 33,465 page edits since the wiki was setup.

In the event Philosopedia is not sold to a humanistic, rational, or ethical

organization before the compiler’s death, its entire copyrighted material

will be transferred to disk, removed entirely from the web, and sent by his

Executor to the Dallas County Museum in Perry, Iowa, where many of

Smith’s mementoes have already been donated.

Cost: $100,000

or best offer if more than one bidder

plus you must provide evidence that you will continue the search engine

Since Variety Recording Studio was sold in 1990 (its incompetent new

entire collection and give it to a library or suitable site rather than dispose

of the items to individuals. Various original stampers, mothers, and other

materials relating to Sun Ra: $10,000

Lamont, Corliss

The Enduring Impact of George Santayana (Basic Pamphlets) –

Lamont states that “Santayana not only ranks with Bertrand

Russell as one of the twentieth century’s most readable

philosophers, but also frequently delights us with brief nuggets of

wisdom that in a single sentence brilliantly sum up a deep and

complex thought. I have never known a philosopher who produced

so many genuine aphorisms.” He quotes Russell’s “Santayana

thinks there is no God and that Mary is his mother.” Also he

writes, “In 1951 Santayana wrote a letter to Warren Allen Smith,

an American Humanist, explicitly repudiating any notion that in

The Idea of Christ he was tending towards theism. He quotes the

Cory book: “My Naturalism is fundamental and includes man, his

mind, and all his works, products of the generative order of Nature.

Christ in the Gospels is a legendary figure.”

Autographed: “Dear Warren. Nice to hear from you again.

Cordial Christmas greetings. Corliss Lamont.” 9 copies
