I love this Radiohead song

Peonies are delicious.

Thrilled to announce my new book, coming Fall 2026.

I’m looking forward to “replying” to Kian on April 1st 🙃

This is just so flatly immoral, so obviously unjustifiable. www.ft.com/content/83ab...

And, I suppose, my sense is that Berkeley may have been a little optimistic in thinking that "jolly prelate" was what the average neutral observer thought of him in the first instance. It's pretty flattering, at least! Here it is, anyway, with Alt. Enjoy!

True independent thinkers don't change their clocks just because everyone else does. I will do my own research and determine what time it is

Happy Friday, here's my second favourite (erm, hymnal) poem Berkeley wrote about tar-water. Absolutely stunning opening line IMO

My resignation letter

Looksmaxxing this mogging that, what about flowermaxxing and squashing??

Only one opinion that counts of course, and if only we'd listened...

Good Evening, Bluesky.

As my thoughts start to come together, I'm getting closer to finding out whether I should summarise all of my work as 'I agree with Christine Korsgaard' or as 'I agree with Martha Nussbaum'. Which way will I have wasted my efforts this time?

Introspection did not exist until the 1920s. Descartes invented the mind. Ennui was developed in a lab in Paris in 1857.

Big mood

Siri, showe me proof of why it ys ymportant to studye the literature of the past

Went for a short walk in the woods to think about value and the demands of practical rationality. Heard a buzzard, saw a willow tit and some geese, enjoyed some nice moss, did not solve meta-ethics.

If this place changes, I shall miss most its mostly unerring guidance to worthy books. I am reading Bergson and so have turned to read alongside him Emily Herring’s Herald of a Restless World which notes his Irish-Anglo mother and surmises that /1

Is Martha Nussbaum omnipresent? #philsky

'Dandelions.' (1900) Along with Jacek Malczewski, Ludwig Stasiak is credited for the rise in popularity of symbolism in late 19thC and early 20thC Poland and was on the fringes of the Young Poland Movement, it shared fundamental parallels with the British Arts and Crafts Movement

I’m looking forward to “replying” to Kian on April 1st 🙃

Have you considered just consulting your own intuitions?

'The Working Woman.' (1905) Helene Schjerfbeck is one of many women artists who keep getting rediscovered over and over again. Every decade or so, a curator shines a brief spotlight on Schjerfbeck, before she slips out of sight again.

I think that if everybody took time to look at how animals are turned into their food, they'd never touch a bit of meat again. It's so gruesome and horrifying and unbelievable that it's so commonplace

Me after having slept through half a dozen alarms: Wow, what a wake-up call this is

Good Evening, Bluesky.

You're not a moral realist. You just have low self-esteem and a pathological need for validation from external sources.

Good Evening, Bluesky.

Remembering Katherine today 🤍 katherinehawley.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk Happy International Women’s Day, #philsky

Meanwhile in philosophy

Good Evening, Bluesky.

Martha Nussbaum on lunch at Iris Murdoch’s house: “I felt that her very intense gaze went, as it were, straight through me, to something that was not me at all, but to which I was somehow related…She fixed me with her eyes and went on, eating pate absent-mindedly with her fingers…” 👀 #philsky

Idea: policies that do good things instead of bad things
