The list of things one can occupy seems ever to be expanding. Now, the internet brings us philosophers in support of occupation.

I’m a long way from being convinced that the creation of this particular website was strictly necessary, especially insofar as its authors don’t seem to be providing a whole lot of insight into the philosophical underpinnings of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement — or of protests movements more generally. I’m not going to make grandiose claims about how these current protesters need to get more philosophical or anything like that, but I will argue that if philosophers are going to start a website in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement, that’s surely the niche they’ll want to … ummm … occupy.
