Congratulations to Dr. James S. Taylor, Philosophy professor, whose op-ed essay for the LA Times, “Want to Save Lives? Allow Bone Marrow Donors to Be Paid,” was one of five winners of the American Philosophical Association’s Committee on Public Philosophy’s Op-Ed contest for 2011.
According to the APA, “The goal [of the contest] is to honor 5 standout pieces that blend successfully philosophical argumentation with an Op-Ed writing style, [and which] will be judged in terms of their success as examples of public philosophy: being accessible to the general public, concerned with important topics of public concern, and characterized by sound reasoning.”
