Thanks to Amos Bertolacci's invitation, I had a wonderful time at Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca and examined an excellent PhD dissertation. It should be exciting for everyone interested in Islamic Philosophy to know that an accurate translation of Ibn Sīnā's al-ʿIbāra is forthcoming!

My Introduction to a Religious Studies Archives issue on *Islamic Problems and Perspectives in Philosophy of Religion*, which I edited in 2021, has now been translated into Turkish.

I need to revise my SEP entry on "Arabic and Islamic Philosophy of Mathematics" soon. Is there any recent work you think I should consider or reference in the new revision? I would be grateful for any suggestions. plato.stanford.edu/entries/arab...

My most recent article on the history of the liar paradox in the medieval Islamic world is now available open-access: “‘I Am Darkness’: On Liar-Style Anti-Dualist Arguments in Kalām”

Honoured to be selected as the treasurer of the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion. Looking forward to working with Christopher Insole (president) and David Leech (secretary). The theme of the next BSPR conference, scheduled for 2027, is "God and the Limits of Reason". Stay tuned!

Huge thanks to all the brilliant speakers at the 2nd Manchester Workshop on Islamic Phil. (Wahid Amin, Fedor Benevich, Kamran Karimullah, Jon McGinnis, and Aysenur Tabur)! All the talks were truly fascinating! Stay tuned for the 3rd workshop, which will hopefully feature a larger group of speakers!

Looking forward to the Second Manchester Workshop on Islamic Philosophy, taking place on July 3-4. @uomsoss.bsky.social

Want to track recent publications on medieval (philosophy of) mathematics? @cleliacrialesi.bsky.social has you covered on the page below (which includes my *Medieval Finitism* as well):

Had a great time in Nottingham! Enjoyed a lot the after-talk conversations I had with brilliant students and scholars at @uonphilosophy.bsky.social.

Looking forward to this event at @uonphilosophy.bsky.social today!

My good friend @helendecruz.net is currently in hospice after a long battle with cancer, and has written this beautiful piece reflecting on what is truly of value in life. helendecruz.substack.com/p/cant-take-...

Excited that this conference is approaching!

Two incoming PhD students planning to work with me on Islamic Philosophy (with an analytical approach) have received full funding. Encouraging to see the field thriving at @manchester.ac.uk (@uomsoss.bsky.social).

Delighted to be able to share this new forthcoming paper: my part of a book symposium on Amir Saemi's excellent 'Morality and Revelation in Islamic Thought and Beyond', edited by Mohammad Saleh Zarepour for Agatheos: European Journal for Philosophy of Religion. philpapers.org/rec/AKHDPE

My *Avicenna + Zorn = Necessary Existent* is published in the new vol. of OSPR, edited by @larabuchak.net and Dean Zimmerman. Combining a series of Avicennian principles and Zorn's lemma, I have developed a proof for the ex. of God, which is probably stronger than the original Proof of the Sincere.

My SEP entry on "Arabic and Islamic Philosophy of Mathematics" has been translated to Spanish and Portuguese: EN: plato.stanford.edu/entries/arab... ES: 3dd514a1-7193-425c-9dab-e8842b28b8e9.filesusr.com/ugd/f6d0b3_3... PT: 3dd514a1-7193-425c-9dab-e8842b28b8e9.filesusr.com/ugd/f6d0b3_c...

A research symposium with Robert Audi and Mark Wynn, organised by Global Philosophy of Religion Project 2 at the University of Birmingham. Travel bursaries are available for students.

My "PSR, Modal Collapse, and Open Future in Ibn Sīnā's Philosophy" is published open-access in Theoria. I argue that Ibn Sīnā's necessitarianism is *compatbile* with not only epistemic but also ontic openness of the future. I know; many people disagree.

Just submitted my entry on "Islamic Philosophy of Religion" for the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Stay tuned! This will be the second encyclopedia entry I have ever written. The first one was on "Arabic and Islamic Philosophy of Mathematics" for SEP.👇

Just updated my website after a long time:

It will be out soon. You can now pre-order it. *Logic, Soul, and World: Essays in Arabic Philosophy in Honor of Tony Street*, edited by A. Ahmed, M. S. Zarepour, and R. Strobino. brill.com/display/titl...

Unfortunately, I cannot attend it myself! But I'm sure it will be a great talk: www.aub.edu.lb/jabre/Pages/...

Looking forward to this event @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social, and honored to share the mathematical panel with @mszarepour.bsky.social

Looking forward to this @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social: *Bridges between Parallel Paths: Arabic-Islamic and Latin Christian Medieval Philosophies* bridgesconference2025.wordpress.com (Though I have no idea why the distribution of '-' is unbalanced: 'Arabic-Islamic' but 'Latin Christian'! 😃)
