To those that have seen the Apple TV series Severance - we all agree this is a Marxist critique of capitalism right? Specifically of his theory of alienation? It’s so good, also bringing up questions of the mind-body problem, consent, bodily autonomy, and much more. #severance #marxism #philsky

Donald Davidson published on James Joyce, Elisabeth Camp edited a book on the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Are there other examples of analytic philosophers of language engaging with literature like this?

Happy to share that I’ll be giving a talk on Russellian physicalism at the XI Congress of the Spanish Society for Analytic Philosophy in Seville this October! 🙂 @sefa2025.bsky.social

“What kind of man am I? One of those who would be pleased to be refuted if I say anything untrue, and who would be pleased to refute anyone who says anything untrue; one who, however, wouldn’t be any less pleased to be refuted than to refute.” — Socrates, in Plato’s Gorgias #philosophy #philsky

Any philosophers on here work on anarchism? I'll be teaching anarchism in Salzburg next term and I wanted to get the jump on it. #philosophy

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

Seeing incompetent people with fancy jobs should exacerbate your impostor syndrome not cure it; I will die on this hill

Nothing can compare to what philosophy Twitter was, alas. I miss it so much.

this is not meant as a hot take or a unique insight but it's remarkable how a lot of scientific discourse is about methods, data, and findings, whereas what really does most of the heavy lifting happens to be the assumptions

Do you think that #philsky has managed to capture the feeling of philosophy Twitter back in the day or are there any better alternatives like Mastodon or Threads?

We hosted an Applied Ethics conference for local schools today, with brilliant talks by Isabel Wollaston, Jeremy Williams, & Henry Taylor. From choiceless choices and animal rights, to the objectivity of moral wrongs, it was a rollercoaster! #philosophymatters #philosophyforeveryone #philsky

I’ve seen several people asking how to remove unwanted (e.g. political) content from their timeline and the answer is: feeds. Unlike other social media platforms you can follow any number of custom feeds, which are curated to highlight particular content, users or hashtags. For a directory, see:

I’m pretty sure I’d like to start actively using Bluesky, now that it resembles the old academic twitter. Any tips on how to moderate my timeline to see more academic content? Currently, it’s mostly US politics…

First call now open to present at this summer school in July—I'll be there, along with heddahasselmorch.com and (online) @philipgoff.bsky.social panpsychism.ifzg.hr

So, I wrote a book that argues that protection against extreme economic inequalities (namely, freedom from poverty and limits to wealth) is a key condition of epistemic reliability of institutional systems. Hope some of you will find it interesting!

This book could only succeed because so many people encouraged me, and then so many philosophers lent their expertise so generously in their discussion of these thought experiments, making it a very rich book (as one negative Amazon review put it "thought experiment overload").

My initial thoughts are that BlueSky does feel more alive than X. I used to be bothered by the situation at X, then I stopped caring (since I assume most huge companies are ran by people I probably wouldn’t like), but then I stopped using it since it feels dead. What do you think?

I’ve created a new feed for #philosophy job listings. It includes posts with the hashtags #PhilJob, #PhilJobs or #PhilosophyJobs, as well as links to philjobs.org. Save/pin and like the feed if you find it useful! 🙏 #PhilSky #academia bsky.app/profile/did:...
