One thing about Love & Philosophy: it brings together thought collectives (people who share ideas that guide their work and life) in ways that do not always feel cool and comfortable but remain potent #thoughtcollective #philosophy #philsky #podcast #love 🎙Sharing Space: Maps, Masks & Voicecraft

New book— just got my copy! I know people often don’t read book chapters but I think that’s a mistake. They are usually much more reflective and wide ranging than journal articles.

#73 In the Belly of a Paradox with author Parker Palmer ❣️ Love is in listening 📚 Palmer says paradox is a “survival concept”, an idea that feels especially helpful right now. He also says love may be what is holding us even when we cannot feel it. #loveandphilosophy #meaning #hope #courage #podcast

❣️ Episode #72 From Bacteria to Bach, Widening the Circle of Care with N. Katherine Hayles: "I think it's a misunderstanding of that book to say that it is urging us to embrace the posthuman...." #cognitive #philsky #lit #planetary #podcast www.loveandphilosophy.com

#71 Dialectic, Democracy & the Phenomenology of Double Consciousness with philosopher Lucius Outlaw #dialectic #democracy #doubleconsciousness #philsky #webdubois

Loving and Knowing is one of my favourite philosophy papers of recent years. Listen to the pod then read the paper. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Asked two senior philosophers I admire for some reading suggestions and both replied the same day with detailed, thoughtful guidance. And just read an excellent PhD thesis in hermeneutical injustice. Our field has so much to love. #PhilSky

We have been working on this for the last five years, and it's great that our paper will be published in Synthese. philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26226/ Ecological psychology is a good fit for perspectival realism.

Perspectival Realism + Ecological Psychology = Ecological Perspectivism "Science offers knowledge of reality in terms of affordances, which are relational to the instruments and abilities of scientific communities." #PhilSci #PsycSci

Jorge Luis Borges was born OTD in 1899. “Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.” 🦋🦫🌱🗃️🧠 #PhilSci #PhilSky

Neuroscience needs a new paradigm: the brain is not a machine | By Nicole Rust “The brain is a dynamic complex system—like the weather or a megacity—whose parts interact via feedback loops that are impossible to study in isolation from each other.” iai.tv/articles/neu... #philsky #philsci #neuro

📹 Philosopher Ezquiel Di Paolo discusses the idea that individuality is formed through, not against, the collective. #loveandphilosophy #philosophy #power youtube.com/shorts/LViHD...

Well I'll be damned if my impassioned reading of @alvanoe.bsky.social and enactivist philosophy didn't finally intersect with my career as a middle school teacher. Thank you @lovephilosophy.substack.com for creating the safe, curious spaces that inspire such clear speech. pca.st/jan8cc3f

✎Drawing on David Graeber's work & predictive processing theory, Julian explores play as a fundamental drive aimed at creating & resolving surprise. Playful environments encourage creativity, critical thinking & joy. Play might be the loving attitude a person has when travelling between worlds (!)

❣️ Ezequiel Di Paolo & Mirko explore the dynamics of human interaction, participatory sense-making, how to hold the contradiction between our individual world & all the worlds co-creating it, & the embodied and enactive approach to cognitive science. lovephilosophy.substack.com/p/bringing-f...

Listening on the train to an insightful podcast episode @lovephilosophy.substack.com with Dr. Ezequiel Di Paolo on #enactivism & #socialcognition. It’s helping me clarify how I engage his work in my dissertation on embodied experiences of migrants with VSCs. #intersex youtu.be/aZUtvjYkBzc?...
