Such a great series. @philipgoff.bsky.social was excellent, as was Gilbert Markus talking about 'Is God Nothing?' (of interest to anyone thinking about inter-religious dialogue and concepts of the divine). @takeshimorisato.bsky.social @theosthinktank.bsky.social

On 5:50 train to London and my reading for the ride.

The viva/doctoral defence of the second Black Ph.D. philosophy student (ever in the history of our 442 year old university), Mr. Tony Baugh (@trbaugh), was concluded yesterday. Beware America. Dr. Baugh will be back in the States like Césaire in Martinique!

フランス語圏カリブ海思想・文学史が非常に分かりやすくまとめられている小冊子です。分厚い研究書に手を出す余裕がない人、すでに読んだが通史を復習しておきたい読者におすすめです。http://www.fukyo.co.... @fukyosha

日本で出版業界の調子があまり良くないという知らせが、英国まで届いています。読める本は読んで応援していければと思いました。

A new book on the Kyoto School by @NNakamura126362 with endorsements from @GregorySMoss2 and me. Available @wipfandstock: wipfandstock.com/979...

今まで読んだ日本思想史研究書の中で群を抜いて読みやすく、多岐に広がる議論も明晰かつ豪快。政治思想史における諸定説をバッサリ切り捨てたり、周知の歴史的事実をおそらく前例がないような非常に興味深い角度から解説する手法も強烈に印象的でした。 @takuya1969 @UT_Press

A Hungarian book on Zeami and Noh in Japanese philosophy: www.racio.hu/?p=kiad... We will for sure translate this into English someday.

The inaugural volume of the new World Philosophies series (with an endorsement from @DrTJC) is finally out! we will change the history & decolonise philosophy one volume at a time from Edinburgh: edinburghuniversityp... @EdinburghUP

黒人文化を文献研究や西洋の古典的な歴史学や地政学などの観点からではなく口伝伝承・記憶の伝統（Mnemonic tradition)として捉えているのが素晴らしい。新書という限られたスペースで濃厚な即興性と日本の読者にとって親しみやすい創造性に富んだ入門書であると思います。

PPLS #philosophy graduate now a postdoctoral fellow @utoronto.ca Dr Miron Clay-Gilmore provides a deep exploration into Africana philosophy, race, and the politics of knowledge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fmE... (1/2)

A fantastic explanation of Africana Philosophy from the first Black student to earn a PhD from Edinburgh's Philosophy Department, Dr. Miron Clay-Gilmore.

Here I am explaining @EdinburghUni's "Race Review" and Africana philosophy research before diving into Du Bois' The World and Africa at the workshop @Meiji_Univ_PR.

Managed to meet family over the very short 3 day trip to Tokyo 🗼

Daryl Jamieson in action for exploring the "hollow expanse" (i.e., emptiness) at the First of the World Philosophies Lecture Series this academic year in Edinburgh. @DarylJamieson @SchoolofPPLS

This is so good. I hate grapefruits in the UK grocery stores but now I look at them differently: youtube.com/shorts/O...

I am reading Herbert Aptheker's Introduction to 1976 version of "The World and Africa" (where he explains how the reception of the first edition was, how Du Bois tried to republish in 1953 & 55 but couldn't & how we ended up with the current 1965 version). archive.org/details/...

an event organised by Inoue Enryō centre in Japan.

Harlem was very nice to me. Definitely the most favorite part of the NYC.

here is the link to today's slide: prezi.com/view/ZncRq...

Heading to day one of the conference!

A diner in Queens feels like any other diners anywhere in the States: & they always remind me of all the papers that I wrote for BA and MA in philosophy.

This week I am heading to talk about the relation of decolonial feminism and BMS in NYC: marnialazreg.work

I got to see the work of Alioune Diagne (@aliounediagne_officiel) at @mcndakar in Dakar. He turns old black&white images in colonial postcards into colourful paintings and the medium is none other than sugar. There is an amazing decolonial philosophy behind his art.

"A Buddhist Philosophy of Literature: Outlining Yogacara Buddhism with Miyazawa Kenji and Huey P. Newton," TARKA — Revista de Filosofia Intercultural 1 (2025): periodicos.ufca.edu.... My first Afro-Asian paper on Newton & kudos to @filosofia.alafi (@AlafiOficial).

Du Bois' "Black Reconstruction" was just translated into Spanish this April 2025 @tinta_limon: tintalimon.com.ar/li...

pre-ordering this now from @DukePress.

Book cover for An Anthology of Blackness: The State of Black Design. The presentation based on this chapter was really interesting. Didn’t know about the first emergency medical response team was formed by Black volunteers.

One of the things that first drew me to Japan was its philosophy: growing out of myths, rituals and an awareness of impermanence, and worked into everyday life & art. A short 🧵 for anyone new to this... @takeshimorisato.bsky.social

For more on how Japanese philosophy can help us live well, watch or listen to my conversation with @takeshimorisato.bsky.social. 👉 www.historywithchrisharding.com/p/how-can-ja...

I am shocked how geographically close west Africa is to Europe (compared to my usual flight pattern from Europe to Tokyo). 4 hrs and 40 minutes is nothing. We can’t even reach half way at airports in the Middle East…

My new office at CDG (7 hours layover)!

The inaugural volume of Thinking World Philosophies Series is almost ready to go. It is going through the printing machine. Of course, the first book will talk about Du Bois and Afro-Asian philosophy. Stay tuned!

Coming up this week: My first panel presentation on BMS in Dakar Senegal with @DrMattPettway & Darius Cret.

My presentation for the #ENOJP9: prezi.com/view/BHQDB...

'cause I am from here, I should be entitled to be here, & here has no bearing on anything over there: so, anything that happens to me here—so long as it's done by here—is fine. But anything over there imposed on me should be eliminated here. a binary logic, going nowhere.

Now digging into @SatoshiUrai’s latest book on Tanabe’s Social Ontology. One of the best books on the Kyoto School for sure. @KyotoUP

maybe we should also be asking: can AI cause suffering? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My research team (including @ElliePaImer) has made a monumental achievement in prepping & organising the forthcoming @ENOJP_org conference. I have no doubt that they will contribute to a great advancement of JP phil at any academic institution they'll work for in the future!

My first presentation on Haruki Murakami is more or less ready to go for the ENOJP conference.
