Very exciting conference coming up in November at University of Notre Dame Australia. Women in the History of Philosophy: On Nature Wednesday 26 – Thursday 27 November 2025

This was a really fun conversation with @nieaufgehenderrest.bsky.social who was a very generous and thoughtful dialogue partner. Many thanks for your time and all the work you are putting towards bringing (German) philosophy to the fore.

Fantastic review of Ellen Hinsey's "Invisible Fugue" by Luke Fischer, Marginalia Rev of Books "...Hinsey’s work attests to the power of the marginalized art form of poetry to awaken our conscience and ignite the creative spark of existence." www.marginaliareviewofbooks.com/post/ellen-h...

The copy edits have started coming in for this! Online publication is scheduled for January-March 2026

i was incredibly excited to be published by the hopkins review a few years ago. it was something i’d read since undergrad. if they were looking for a way to suck every dram of good will i had for their press or their university out and spit it into an open sewer, baller move, i guess.

"[5-month-old Zainab Abu Halib] had weighed over 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) when she was born, her mother said. When she died, she weighed less than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) ... Zainab was one of [at least] 85 children to die of malnutrition-related causes in Gaza in the past three weeks."

Consider applying to the next conference of the East Asian Schelling Network. We’re meeting in Taipei. I’m stoked to be giving a keynote lecture. To the one and all!

If you haven't yet, please take the brief poll about faculty participation in department events at the end of this post. Thanks!

Tonight's discussion concerns the difference between organicism and vitalism, because so often the two are confused. To my mind, the key difference is that organicism can make more sense of death, while vitalism - because everything is alive - can't. For vitalism, death can only be illusion.

The Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie seeks to expand its scope by including more research on non-Western histories of philosophy and non-canonical figures! If you want to contribute - &publish in a journal devoted to philosophical research since (!) 1888, have a look: www.degruyter.com/jo...

I've stopped posting on Twitter and Threads. I'll stop interacting there and lock those accounts at the end of the week. If you have colleagues who used to follow me on those platforms, feel free to let them know, and that they can follow me here or Mastodon instead. 🙏

Looking for someone to cover women in 19th-century European philosophy? No need to despair. Just head for the Table of Contents in the Oxford Handbook of Women in Nineteenth-Century German Philosophy that @dalianassar.bsky.social and I just edited. Competence abounds! #philsky #WomenInPhilosophy

we are hiring! in early modern philosophy (broadly construed), tt at the jr/assistant level, at @ucsandiego.bsky.social , details at link below, review of files starts soon! philjobs.org/job/show/27982

These are field-shaping, paradigm-shifting volumes. Translations in one, commentary in the other--everything we need to correct the record and do right by these brilliant and neglected women philosophers. Genuinely exciting, deeply inspiring! @dalianassar.bsky.social #philsky #womeninphilosophy

Beautiful and exciting book just came out! A contemporary poet-philosopher writing fragments in the romantic tradition with a thought provoking essay on the history and significance of the fragment as a philosophical form. Luke Fischer’s Philosophical Fragments www.bloomsbury.com/au/philosoph...

Some of the best poetry I've read in recent years: 1) A Gamble For My Daughter—by Luke Fischer, one of the finest poet-philosophers writing today—is profound, lyrical, at once cosmic and intimate in scope, and beautifully blends philosophical and poetic reflection: vagabondpress.net/products/luk...;

Andrew Cooper's Cambridge Elements book on Amalia Holst is out! This is an exciting moment for research on women philosophers & Andrew's work has been crucial in uncovering Holst's significant contributions to the philosophy of education www.cambridge.org/core/element...

We're now on Bluesky! Spread the word 📣

Proposal also to ‘prohibit any student from addressing those present in a lecture, seminar or tutorial prior to the commencement of the lecture, seminar or tutorial on any subject matter’. Absolutely unreal.

📣 CfA - Animals and the Environment in the History of Philosophy (Annual BSHP Conference 2025) 📍Cambridge, 3-5 April 2025 The deadline to submit a paper/symposium proposal for the conference is coming up on *11 December* bshp.org.uk/events/bshp-...

Still very grateful to Michael Ruse for his generous review of my book, especially given that I argue that he and David Hull nurtured a #philbio that illicitly reified a narrow gene-centric approach to evolution and biology, which distorted/excluded other valid scientific approaches to life! 🐋🌱

I had the pleasure of chatting w @ptmcconville.bsky.social of Concept Art @conceptartpod.bsky.social about art and nature, & how art can 'collaborate' with nature, in the example of Jennifer Turopin + Michaelie Crawford's incredible works. You can listen here: www.conceptart.fm/2024/11/17/s...

thinking about what i'll share at the Festival of Death and Dying, esp Günderrode's statement “Becoming is immortal dying [Wandeln ist unsterblich Sterben]” I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and other #Günderrode perspectives on death. #womeninphilosophy #historyofphilosophy

If you're seeing "Invalid Handle" on your profile, this should resolve on its own — thanks for your patience!! 🦋
