Aeon is featuring an article I wrote on Margaret Macdonald’s idea that a good philosophical theory is like a good story for #worldphilosophyday

Happy #WorldPhilosophyDay! @aeon.co magazine marked the occasion by sharing an article from their archive, by Northeastern University London's Peter West @peterwest23.bsky.social, on the work of philosopher Margaret Macdonald. Check out the link below!

Today is #WorldPhilosophyDay, and we’re re-sharing this essay from the archive which explores how, according to philosopher Margaret Macdonald, ‘philosophical theories are much more like good stories than scientific explanations.’

A great recent article in @philosopher1923.bsky.social magazine by NU London's Christoph Schuringa @schuringa.bsky.social, on the question 'Was Marx a Philosopher?'. Christoph is drawing on his recent book Karl Marx and the Actualization of Philosophy: www.thephilosopher1923.org/post/was-mar...

Looking forward to this!

Christoph and I will be discussing his book - and responses to it including Tim’s - at a book launch on October 28th in London, here at the @nulondonphilos.bsky.social campus!

Yet another discussion of Christoph's excellent book. The reviewer concludes: "Schuringa’s annoyance is, to me, at the core of the book, his judgement is not really of the philosophy, but of the philosophers." I hope this annoyance doesn't extend to his wonderful colleagues...
