With Halloween merch already showing up in stores, it\\u2019s a good time to do a Pug take on vampires, so this week, the Pugsters riff off an article by John Schuler looking at the implicit philosophical ideas in Bram Stoker\\u2019s Dracula. They start off with a discussion of the difference between modernity and the \\u201cold centuries\\u201d before moving on to scientism, the nature of evil, natural and artificial symbols (in Schuler\\u2019s terms), meaning, natural law and the supernatural, and a bunch of other rabbit trails suggested by the article.
