One of the first philosophers to write about #climate change, Mary Midgley, was born on this date in 1919. For our episode earlier this year, we sent our Roving Philosophical Reporter to explore Midgley’s ideas about #animals and the Gaia hypothesis: youtu.be/yraIY5Uhb98 #PhilSky #WiseWomen

Philosophy majors rank higher than all other majors on verbal & logical reasoning, according to our new study published in the J of the American Philosophical Assoc. They also tend to display more intellectual virtues such as curiosity & open-mindedness theconversation.com/studying-phi... #philsky

Happy Birthday #MaryMidgley! Having a coffee, thinking of you & appropriately talking to lots of lovely folk about why we all need to study philosophy - & study religion! #TimothySecret being his usual brilliant self selling our degree courses @uniwinchester.bsky.social #philsky #theosky #teamre

"The trouble with human beings is not really that they love themselves too much; they ought to love themselves more. The trouble is simply that they don’t love others enough." ✒️ #MaryMidgley, British philosopher, was #BOTD 13 September 1919. #Philosophy

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!

Spotted in St David’s last week. Two excellent-looking ‘philosophy in the wild’ sessions by @drelizabethmac1.bsky.social Shame I won’t be able to make it back for them

Massive fan of @manoncjames.bsky.social thebangoraye.com/new-dean-appoi…

'She rejected the view that humanities and social sciences were less useful...than some other subjects, such as maths and science, describing them as “absolutely essential . . . both to living a full and prosperous life but also to addressing many of the challenges we face”.'

My friend @helendecruz.net passed away a few weeks ago. If you could donate to the fundraiser that's been set up to help her family, it would mean the world to me: gofund.me/dc505bda

'The Bell by Iris Murdoch....I read it at 16 and it was perhaps the first time I realised that a novel, if perfectly executed, could be about absolutely anything.' www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Read #books and also watch and read lots of #films this long hot summer! Films like #Flow #TheWildRobot #PrincessMononoke #TheSeaBeast are as important to us as a family as the books that have shaped and nourished us! #ReadBooks #ReadFilms #Films #Books #reading #filmsky #booksky

Delighted to see that Carol Gilligan has been awarded the Kyoto Prize this year. www.kyotoprize.org/en/

For our next episode we revisit the life and thought of Arthur Schopenhauer with @davidbatherwoods.bsky.social from @philoswarwick.bsky.social.
