AAPT Members

I found this article on 'ModernGhana.com,' which attributes the new President's (Atta Mills) policies and behavior to his philosophical training. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to establish if he actually has a degree in Phil, or if he is a 'hobbyist' Philosopher.  Ghana has a history of politicians with philosophic interests - Appiah's father was involved with the independence movement.  

The introductory paragraph, however, is worth reading on its own:

Philosophers are very interesting and peculiar people to deal with because they usually do not take things at face value. They tend to be experimenters and so they always trying to test hypotheses or theories in their day to days work. They have a propensity to be people that always test theories to find out whether the theories are well fitted to observation or not. In their quest to find the truth, they can come up with the same truth which indicates the truth that other scientists through experimentation and testing have discovered. They may also question the validity of certain theories, and by so doing come up with different results that may be different from the established truth gained by scientists.

Wouldn't it be fabulous to live in a culture where Phil was considered vital to public discourse? Anyone know if the University of Ghana is hiring these days?
