Please note that the journal that Sophia mentioned will be coming out  
with additional articles in book form in February. The title is  
Cognitive Disability and its Challenge to Moral Philosophy.  Wiley- 
Blackwell is publishing it.   Please look for it at the Central APA.   
I enclose the TOC.  You will recognize many FEASTERS (or is it  
FEASTIES) among the contributors.  However we call ourselves, this  
group of FEAST members together with others have produced some real  
food for thought.

The journal and book resulted from the Conference on Cognitive  
Disability: Its Challenge to Moral Philosophy

Best, Eva
