Philosophy Against Malaria
What good can philosophers do?
If the past is a good guide, quite a lot! Every year, philosophy departments around the world enter a friendly 'competition' to raise money for bednets that protect people from Malaria.
Malaria kills more than a thousand children each day. These deaths are as unnecessary as they are tragic. So, every year during the festive season, philosophers put ethical quarrels, exotic thought experiments, and devastating objections aside for a minute to pitch in for those less fortunate than them.
