's Living with Men. I highly recommend, though it's disturbing and challenging stuff. What it captures, and refuses to dispel, is a sense of being genuinely adrift if you refuse to flinch from what you on some level know must be true of many men around you.

If this Most Cited List (from a Leiter post earlier this year on political philosophy books with over 4000 citations) is right then it's wild just how hard liberalism is winning in political philosophy. Total ideological domination.

This post on "dual class origins" of Labour MPs is interesting cos it highlights that many in the UK have a notion of class wherein one can "inherits" one's class, so if one had working class parents one is therefore still working class even if one is presently, say, an Oxford educated barrister!

CFP: âSpeech and Politicsâ with Miranda Fricker. Sciences Po. 12th Graduate Conference of Political Theory (2026)
CFP: "Speech and Politics" with Miranda Fricker Sciences Po's 12th Graduate Conference of Political Theory Submission deadline: January 31, 2026 Conference date(s): May 27, 2026 - May 28, 2026 Call for papers Key words: Attentiveness, listening, discourses, representation, political language, democracy, margins The relationship between speech and politics has recently become the object of renewed scholarly interest. Following Michel Foucaultâs analyses of parrhesia and the courage of truth (2008, 2017), political theory has increasingly interrogated the force of âtruth-tellingâ within practices of resistance to power, as evidenced by studies on the so-called âliberation of speechâ among women in the #MeToo movement (Châteauvert-Gagnon, 2025).
