"If we want philosophy to be genuinely global, just, and conducive to the pursuit of truth, we need to be more aware of the invisible labor that many NNES philosophers invest to be heard, and more willing to challenge the structures that may keep them quiet." #philsky dailynous.com/2025/09/24/t...

Happy first day of Fall 🍂 term 🍁 #philsky #academicsky #edusky

My revised and expanded entry on the Ethics of Cultural Heritage is now live in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy! Appropriation, repatriation, monuments, and more, as well as a new section on the nascent aesthetic injustice literature. #philsky plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethi...

Émilie du Châtelet challenged the Enlightenment, and history nearly forgot her. Jon Templeman reviews Andrew Janiak’s 'The Enlightenment’s Most Dangerous Woman', a bold reexamination of philosophy’s hidden foundations. Read the review here: buff.ly/znhgfdx #EmilieDuChatelet #PhilSky #BookReview

Some years ago, Bayer tried to recruit me for a project on trust in science. (I listened, but then declined.) Now it’s clear not only do they not trust science, they don’t trust justice, either. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/c...

Why do I thank GPT whenever it completes a task for me? #AIethics #delusion

So… I have disappeared for a month. Apologies. Travels, a new job (Associate Dean), and the beginning of a heavy semester have kept me quite busy. Looking forward to hanging out here again. And for now, here is my review of @cepaea.bsky.social’s fascinating book, The Land is our Community. #philsci🌎

Reposting for recent arrivals… #philosophy #PhilSky

I wonder, if we truly believe we are so much better than other species, why have we spent thousands of years driving home the point?

Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors. Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!

#LSEPhilosophy Professor Roman Frigg & colleagues published the book “Proofs and Research Programmes: Lakatos at 100” with @springernature.com 👉It's the first book in this century to cover the contemporary significance of Lakatos’ philosophy 🔓 Open access link.springer.com/book/10.1007... #philsci

Intriguing article: “While many people might assume that our memories are primarily stored within our brains, some philosophers like myself argue that… memory can extend beyond the confines of the body to involve coupled interaction with structures in the environment. “ #philsci #philsky #cognition

We've said it before and we'll say it again: weekends are for book reviews. Here's Jay Odenbaugh on _From Biological Practice to Scientific Metaphysics_ edited by William Bausman, Janella Baxter and Oliver Lean 👇

June was quite something this year: first, I organized and hosted the ISEE summer conference; then I traveled to Nebraska with my DD, who worked at the CCHI Lab; then I traveled to Mexico City to deliver two keynote lectures, and finally ran the marathon. I must admit I crashed a bit this week!

I have 20+ tabs open with various articles that were accessible online. I am old enough to remember when I had to go to a library, ask for an article, wait for it for an hour, and have only 4 hours to read and take notes on it. The world may be plunged into chaos, but this is good stuff. #academia

My colleague @robglover.bsky.social talks about how his Fulbright proposal, which would have analyzed alternatives to punitive drug policy, was ultimately rejected at the final stage after moving through every previous round of review. Academic freedom is under immense threat by this administration.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? At least I know they’ll get the job done. As for the collateral damages, which I expect to be many, I’ll most likely won’t know a thing about them.

So grateful for last week's experience hosting #ISEE2025! Truly amazing people and scholars. Missoula felt like the perfect place for discussions around Indigenous philosophies, eco-feminism, climate policy, moral consideration beyond the human, and much more. #envhum #philosophy #conservation

This paper looks interesting: "transparency requirements come with a varying extent of engagement... It is often not clear in which sense transparency requirements are to be understood in the context of trust in expertise. However, each sense can backfire in different ways."

Good morning read: “Through experiential simulation of another’s feelings, empathy affords us a rich grasp of the distress that others feel. The upshot is that empathy isn’t just a subjective sensation. It affords us a more accurate understanding of others’ experiences and emotions.” #philsky

This new article makes an interesting point:"My goal is to argue that there is a place for both ecological relevance and irrelevance in the study of animal cognition." #philsky #philsci #animalcognition #conservation www.cell.com/trends/cogni...

“One study estimated that every SNAP dollar invested in children returns $62 in value over their lifetimes (due to a range of benefits including improved educational outcomes, higher earnings in adulthood, increased life expectancy, and increased government tax revenue)” www.cbpp.org/blog/snap-fo...

To what extent is an artist limited in her ability to convey aspects of another group’s experience? María José Alcaraz León addresses just this question in this advance article. doi.org/10.1093/aest... #philsky

This looks fascinating, even if one must put all the appropriate caveats concerning the limits of genetic determinism front and center. Still, pretty cool stuff.
