Some people have an erroneous copy of the article for Wednesday because it has two page 3's. Here is the correct version:
"Reasonable Humans and Animals," John Simmons:

Again, a detailed summary of the arguments and objections should be sent to the homework email address, available on the blog.
Thanks!
