"Peirce is cited and recognized as the founder of pragmatism. He’s the one who coins the term and spends his career, in a way, trying to give a proof of pragmatism." fivebooks.com/best-books/r...

Simone Weil is a complex but rewarding contemporary thinker. While her concepts are highly developed they also have a certain paradoxical quality, which defeats easy categorisation. For Weil, thinking and experience are closely bound up. #philosophershat creativetogether.ie/so/17PaLoHaD...

EU laws are there to protect nature. By doing so, they protect us - our health, quality of life, economic resilience. Now, the European Commission wants to weaken these laws… This is a critical moment to have your voice heard. Have your say: swanireland.ie/take-action/... #HandsOffNature

Our first walk to see the aftermath of #stormeowyn in Cong woods. All the trails practically impassable. Hundreds trees down. Pretty sad view. Huge effort will be needed to make it available to the community again #mayo

It’s been 20 years since I published my first book Ukryty blask (Hidden Shine) ✨🌞✨ I would probably have written it differently today but hey, one matures slowly. Great cover by the one and only legend, Andrzej Urbanowicz. It’s great to see it’s still available! www.empik.com/ukryty-blask...

Thanks to his musical education my grandfather’s brother saved both from gas chambers in Auschwitz. They made him Kapelmeister…

Although my grandfather and his brother didn’t die in Auschwitz they survived couple of years there before were moved to Flossenberg. They were Poles in resistance against Nazis. We, humans, need to remember that evil is evil. And it creeps in slowly with pathetic insipid poisonous rhetoric.

Call for papers is out for our meeting in Malta (24-25 May) Deadline for proposals is 28th February. More info on the website www.sophianetwork.eu/announcement...
