#otd vor 295 Jahren in #Kaufbeuren geboren: die Schriftstellerin Marie Sophie von La Roche (geb. Gutermann v. Gutershofen). Ab 1771 etablierte sie einen literarischen Salon, in dem u. a. Goethe und Wieland verkehrten. Ihr Briefnachlass wurde von einem Nachfahren an das #GSAWeimar übergeben.

Ein echtes Kunstwerk bleibt, wie ein Naturwerk, für unsern Verstand immer unendlich; es wird angeschaut, empfunden; es wirkt, es kann aber nicht eigentlich erkannt werden. ▪️Goethe

A review of Matthew Bell's Goethe: A Life in Ideas in the New Yorker www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

We're very sad to learn of Andrew Cooper's passing. Andrew authored the 2016 SUNY Press book The Tragedy of Philosophy: Kant's Critique of Judgment and the Project of Aesthetics. tinyurl.com/4jb5644j

Germany’s Wollstonecraft In 1802, a work of philosophy was published under a woman’s name. In On the Vocation of Woman to Higher Intellectual Development, Amalia Holst declared that it was time someone spoke out about the plight of women in Germany ‘from a woman’s standpoint aeon.co/essays/amali...

Lovely review of my book by fellow @uchicagopress.bsky.social author Robert Zaretsky

RIP Andrew Cooper (1986-2025) Andrew Cooper, associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick, has died. dailynous.com/2025/12/01/a... #PhilosophySky #philsky

clarity in philosophy is mostly about replacing the language you speak, one where you can’t be sure which inferences are ok to draw from an assertion til you’ve seen someone else assert the same, with another language, where no-one at all knows which inferences are fine to draw

This is so cool. 1946's edition of "The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon

Actors from the Commedia dell'Arte on a wagon in a town square, 1640. To cheer up your day, from Jan Miel of Antwerp & Rome.

A dear dear friend is gone. There are no words. His family have set up a memorial page to share tributes.

The Center is very sad to report the untimely passing of Andrew Cooper (Warwick), who was a Fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science in 2023. Andrew was an outstanding philosopher in addition to a wonderful human being.

If you're looking for a book on Schelling, Spinoza, and existence monism, I've got something for you. Bookshop.org is a really cool site. I always donate to Uncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books and if you'd like to pick up my book you can too!

Adorno-Horkheimer didn’t get a copy of Benjamin’s “Theses” until mid-1941. Reading it they discovered not only remarkable coincidences with their most recent work but differences they couldn’t help but want to fight him over, hours without end, at a Parisian café open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...

Berlin peeps! This is happening Thursday and Friday. Fichte and embodiment? What else could you possibly want from this world?

📢📢 New Article 📢📢 "Hegel's Theory of Rational Proof" Published in Hegel Bulletin Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Big thanks to @schuringa.bsky.social and @ivanboldyrev.bsky.social for all the help along the way - and for putting up with all of my pesky emails!

Terry Eagleton has reviewed my book for @lrb.co.uk. I quite like the epithet ‘deliberately non-intimidating’. It’s kind of how I live as well as how I write.

short & sweet: ISR’s group entry on the sociology of art for a 1940s American encyclopedia (which turns out to be a barely veiled allusion to Engels on Balzac + an interesting attempt to mediate b/w Adorno & Löwenthal’s divergent approaches to sociology of art!) open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...

Chicago is having a sale! Get 30% off my new book until 12/3/2025 when you use code HOLIDAY25. @uchicagopress.bsky.social

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

I've spent the last few weeks returning to a paper on monism and eternity in Plato, Spinoza, and Schelling. My brain is starting to melt. Thankfully I still have a couple months to finish it. “This knowledge in which the eternal self-identity recognizes itself is reason” (Schelling, SW I/6, 141).

New books! The latest Proust of the new OUP translation , and by friends @davidbatherwoods.bsky.social and @lukebrunning.bsky.social
