Eduardo Mendieta has passed away. He was a friend and mentor to me, and he was responsible for so much of the activity in Latin American philosophy in the US in 90s and 00s. He is sorely missed.

Hello! I just started at new center at UCI! Some main foci will be misinformation, metascience, and equity! www.socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/n...

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

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

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

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!

looking forward to joining this great lineup later this week June 12th/13th 2025 for a conference at Paderborn University on Metaphysik und Methode in der Philosophie und Phänomenologie der Moderne, discussing the increasingly central role of spirit in phenomenology, thanks to Scheler Stein Walther

I reviewed @karlschafer.bsky.social and Nick Stang's great edited collection on Kant on epistemology and metaphysics for Kantian Review: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

this starts up later this afternoon — looking forward to the discussions!

vapor umidus omnes res creat (ovid metam 465ish) / steamy heat creates all things ( @stephaniemccarter.bsky.social transl, which is 🤌🏼, btw)

heading to the symposium on mexican philosophy of history / filosofia mexicana de la historia - looking forward to the discussion and to seeing some of our ucsd filomex lab researchers ‘in action’! #apapacific #apapacific25 #philsky #filomex @ucsandiego.bsky.social @apaphilosophy.bsky.social

looking forward to participating in the apa colloquium sessions on husserl in the 4-6 slot this pm - ill be giving comments on anthony bruno’s paper on jacobi, fichte, and husserl, as all in their own ways attempting to respond to nihilism #apapacific #apapacific25 #philsky

on my way to SF for the pacific apa, going on hour 2 of flight delay, but also still hoping to catch at least some(!) of this session on amalia holst with @dalianassar.bsky.social and others (great line-up!) from 1-350pm today #apapacific #philsky

THE TRITONS OF UC SAN DIEGO ARE DANCING!!

finally got my hands on this excellent new study by naomi fisher @loyolachicago.bsky.social illuminating the many significant dimensions of influence that (neo-)platonism had on the development of early schelling’s idealism #philsky #philosophy academic.oup.com/book/57358

excited to see (& be a part of!) the lineup for the upcoming conference in toronto this may 2-4 on ‘other epistemic achievements’, co-organized by @rezahadisi.bsky.social #philsky #philosophy sites.google.com/view/globalp...

Twin-volume alert: Hoping two vols – some 6 lb of solid research – on women #philosopers in the #19thCentury will leave a mark on the field. Thanks to @lydiamoland.bsky.social and Alison Stone for their superb editorship. Challenging a male-dominated canon, one page at a time.    #philsky #books

Come to our conference on Epistemic achievements and Virtues! We'll have speakers from ten different traditions (Africana, Arabic, Chinese, Early Modern European, Greek, Indigenous Andean, Jewish, Latin American, Medieval Latin, and Sanskrit). (Also, check out the local workshops!) Cool, indeed!

I co-edited this anthology on Kant's conception of hope and its influence on late 18th and 19th century philosophy: www.bloomsbury.com/us/hope-and-...

The term card for this term's Oxford's Post-Kantian European Philosophy Seminar is now online: Anthony Bruno, Andreja Novakovic, Inga Römer, and Fabian Freyenhagen on Hegel (on Fichte), Hegel (on property), Heidegger, and Foucault. www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/post-kantian...

Congrats to my collaborator Alison Stone on her "Women on Philosophy of Art," featuring Anna Barbauld, Harriet Martineau, Anna Jameson, Frances Power Cobbe, Emilia Dilke, and Vernon Lee. Just out from OUP. More evidence of #womeninphilosophy evident as soon as we look! #aesthetics #philsky #19C

Happy #APAEastern25 to all who celebrate! I'm speaking on a panel on #19thcentury #American #philosophy on Thursday at 11:00 & looking forward to talks on #Hegel, #feminism and more. Also to the spectacle of hordes of philosophers in one place. @clintontolley.bsky.social @alisabokulich.bsky.social

If you are attending the Eastern APA this week, don't forget the two NAKS Group Sessions, one each on Thursday and Friday at 7pm — a great chance to learn about the obscure and the impure, and to commemorate Prof. Louden's influential book!

Call for applications: NEH Summer Institute for US academics & advanced grad students. Topic: slavery & early modern philosophy. Location: Georgetown University, DC. Goal: equip participants to incorporate texts about slavery into their research & teaching. #academicsky #philsky @nehgov.bsky.social

great review over at ndpr by peter kj park of @juliajorati.bsky.social ‘s new wide ranging book with oup on the history of philosophical discussions of slavery, race, and racism in the 18th century ndpr.nd.edu/reviews/slav...

This Friday I'll be talking about some work in progress on Husserlian essences, free variation, and a way of understanding these concepts using an extended matrix analogy. I know it sounds ridiculous. I was tempted to put "hear me out" in front. But I will give an argument!

New Year, new cover reveal! Here's what our @oxunipress.bsky.social Handbook of American and British Women #Philosophers in the #19thCentury will look like, and we're thrilled! Women philosophizing about metaphysics, #ethics, #gender, #aesthetics, politics, #logic, race, religion, education...

the oxford handbook re kant is no longer just the object of a concept but is actually intuitable, experienceable, possibly even comprehensible (tho will let @karlschafer.bsky.social weigh in w that verdict) - looking forward to working through the contributions in the new year, toc images in thread

Our Christmas Eve present from @oxunipress.bsky.social: proofs of our forthcoming Handbook! 50 newly commissioned chapters on #19thCentury #women in #philosophy from logicians to social theorists to utilitarians to pacifists. I guess I know what will be first on my to-do list in 2025! #philsky

3-day 'disinformation summer institute' for early career researchers (grad students, postdocs, asst profs) this june 3-6 @ucsandiego.bsky.social - great list of participating faculty - info and applications (due jan 31) at disinfoinstitute.org

  I still can’t believe we made it: The recent Oxford Handbook to Nineteenth-Century Women Philosophers in the German Tradition presents such solid scholarship from the 30 contributors. (Somewhat) color-synchronized with Women Philosophers in the Nineteenth Century.   #philsky #artsky #feminism
