🚨 Today, we launch Report 9 from the #CSLstudy, ‘Experiences of the Transition to Post-Primary Schooling’ 🔗 Download the report from our website at: cslstudy.ie/downloads/CS... 🧵 Read about some of the key findings below – ⬇️ 1/18

I have been thinking about patience, impatience, and abuse of patience. Look at what I wrote about it on the shoulders of al-Ghazali and Liz Bucar. open.substack.com/pub/danielva...

What is pettiness? Is it always morally problematic? I wrote a new post on Substack about these questions. Take a look and let me know what you think. open.substack.com/pub/danielva...

What is kindness? What are its limits and characteristics? Why do some people think kindness entails weakness? Check out my post on Substack! open.substack.com/pub/danielva...

A must-read for every educational 'experts' (I know a few) who have been eagerly advocating for embedding more AI into the classroom. #dusky #edchatIE time.com/7295195/ai-c...

"A kind person knows that kindness takes multiple forms [...] When we are on the receiving end, we not only get help when we most need it, but also get to know someone better and bear witness to a little miracle." - @drdanielvazquez.bsky.social danielvazquezh.substack.com/p/kindness-i...

Philosophy at SUNY Fredonia is dead.

My latest reviews for Greece & Rome are out (and OA)! I review Fractured Goodness by Ch. Shields, G. Pearson's Aristotle on What Emotions Are, Stoic Eros by S. Shogry, Ch. Graf's Seneca's Affective Cosmos, M. Anderson's Just Prospering?, and Ch. Moore's The Virtue of Agency.

I feel my best analytic philosophy writing is done in carefully crafted admin emails. Am I the only one?

Publishing a journal article in 2025 but in volume 32, issue 2, 2024(!) is like the paradox in the Zhuangzi of going to Yue today and arriving yesterday. I find it usually annoying, but it's fitting for a paper about time. www.pdcnet.org/philosophica...

Just three days left to apply for our 5-year #AdAstraFellowship in #Ethics and #Philosophy of #Technology! Further details and a link to the application system are available on our website at: www.ucd.ie/philosophy/n... #PhilTech #PhilSci #PhilJobs #AIEthics #UCD

I'm so excited about these book arrivals. They look great. The one on the Stoics immediately makes me want to write about the diversity of Stoic metaphysics, but I'll report later what I think of it.

What is an instant? Is it in time? Plato's Parmenides has a famous, weird, and difficult passage that discusses these questions. In this paper, I offer my take on it. Despite my reviewer 2 best efforts, I also discuss Star Trek transporters and Thanos. www.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf...

If you are in Dublin, come and say hi. I will be giving my talk "Arguing Both Sides of a Question in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy" at the UCD philosophy Visiting Speakers Seminar www.ucd.ie/philosophy/n...

#UCD School of Philosophy is looking for a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in the #Ethics and #Philosophy of Technology for a prestigious 5-year fellowship leading to a permanent position (subject to satisfactory performance). #PhilTech #PhilSci #AIEthics #PhilJobs www.ucd.ie/philosophy/n...

As good a day as any to teach Book 8 of Plato’s Republic.

Look at these new arrivals!

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

An early birthday present for me!

A final reminder of this opportunity to join us in the Dept. of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. Please share with anyone interested – AOS and AOC Open; deadline: 14th January!

Me: ---I am an idiot! I lost some files because I didn't back them up in the Cloud. Also me:---But Daniel, you cannot say that! Me:--- OK, say: My refusal to participate in the Technofeudalist infrastructure has a small personal price, which I have stoically accepted.

This is what happens when you rely on international student fees to subsidise inadequate government funding for #HigherEducation, and then create a hostile environment for immigration.

Ding, noooo.

Watch my colleague, Dr Basil Vassilicos (MIC), give a lecture on the ethics of handling nuclear waste: youtu.be/W34GYU18oIc?...

Most emails could have been brief hallway chats.

Help! What would be the best book to teach introductory logic, argumentation, and critical thinking to first-year undergraduate students in a joint honours degree without scaring them away? (we compete with other subjects) We want to create a new module, and I am looking for recommendations.

Four doctoral research fellowships in philosophy at the University of Oslo, good salary and conditions. #philsky

On meeting me, an academic told me they hoped I was not an analytic philosopher. I don't see that label as an identity, but I hope my commitment to clarity will not disappoint.

New short book on the philosopher, feminist and educationalist Amalia Holst by my colleague Andrew Cooper is free to download from 26th November 2024 - 24th December 2024 www.cambridge.org/core/element...
