I’ve casually run into a friend, a few weeks ago in Paris…

Looking for someone to cover women in 19th-century European philosophy? No need to despair. Just head for the Table of Contents in the Oxford Handbook of Women in Nineteenth-Century German Philosophy that @dalianassar.bsky.social and I just edited. Competence abounds! #philsky #WomenInPhilosophy

Here is my French translation of Karoline von Günderrode "Idee der Erde": hope.hypotheses.org/karoline-von... To cite this version, please use the persistent identifier ("hal")! For example: Giulia Valpione. Karoline von Günderrode, L’idée de la Terre. 2024. hal-04822920f #MSCA #Romanticism

Delighted to see this volume published, with a piece I’ve written before the HOPE project, on how the role and goals of B. von Arnim’s and C. Schlegel-Schelling’s philosophy was influenced by “money”. Women paved the way to the consideration of “money” as a conceptual instrument for social critique

This blog post solves a small mystery in Günderrode scholarship: Where did she get the texts she quoted so strangely in her study books? acezekiel.com/2024/04/09/k...

An unusual episode today, as we consider the methodology used by Carlo Ginzburg in his pioneering work of "micro-history," The Cheese and the Worms, on how a 16th Italian peasant became a self-taught philosopher. #philsky #history #microhistory #podcasts www.historyofphilosophy.net/cheese-worms

New post on the website of my project! It has some info on a conference where I talked about #Romanticism and the modern concept of progress, and on a workshop where I'll be discussing #Günderrode 's Idee der Erde. You can also find my French translation of Günderrode's text! hope.hypotheses.org/210
