Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds. When Laurie Stern set out to adopt a baby from Guatemala in 1999, she thought the process would be pretty straightforward. Lots of people were doing it.

On the third installment of my series on PF Strawson's undelievered lecture to The Royal Institute of Philosophy in 1979 titled Perception and Its Objects, I look at Strawson's criticism of JL Mackie's scientific realism. Strawson argues that Mackie's realism is not a real realism, unlike his own, as Mackie relies on a theory of representationalism that artificially separates the apple in the world from the observer's image based perception of the apple in their head in a way that does a disservice to the way that the average person sees apples in the world.
