All packed up and ready to go! The philosophy department at the University of Nevada is moving to a new building. I’ll miss this beautiful office (which I was fortunate to call my own for nearly a decade) and its perfect view of UNR’s old quad.

One of my students referred to Aristotle on their final exam as a “philosophical influencer”. In fairness, they’re not wrong.

My colleague @proflos.bsky.social and I have a new publication: "What's So Great About Consistency?" Have a look! #philsky philpapers.org/rec/MARWSG

I'm devastated to learn that my former PhD supervisor, Barry Allen, has died. Barry was an absolutely wonderful teacher and mentor, an incredible scholar, and a deeply kind, fundamentally decent human being. May his memory be a blessing. leiterreports.com/2025/11/10/i...

Another possibility is that one just starts caring a little less as time goes on, and the problems seem, somehow, less urgent. Dewey said somewhere that we don't solve our philosophical problems, we get over them.
