Somewhere Gadamer talks about Plato being one of the only 'safe' subjects to write/teach on during the war because the Nazis weren't interested. Guess there's progress after all.
Texas A&M tells a philosophy professor he may not teach Plato... dailynous.com/2026/01/06/tex…

I was deeply saddened to learn of John Sallis's passing. He was a giant. His contributions to philosophy are undeniable, even staggering. He was brilliant. He was also very kind, and dedicated to his students. I am so honored to have been one of them.

Same energy: people complaining about this dissertation and people who dislike the term "fascist" because they think it is just a pejorative and not a political term with an actual meaning.

And leaving everything else aside it's just kind of funny that she used "olfactory" as this big pretentious academia word when it just means "of or relating to the sense of smell"

Still waiting on this to open up a rift between trad conservative wing (nominally friendly to Scholastic-style intellectual minutia) and fashy-crypto-bro wing (intellectually bereft and proud of it) of the American right

People joke the hardest part of the PhD is scheduling the defense. It's not a joke.

As someone who lives on the disappeared sections of the green line, I would like to remind everyone that neither Cambridge nor Somerville are part of Boston, but Brighton is.
At the end of 2023, we asked our supporters to help with a creative and collaborative map project: renaming Boston's subway stations.
We're thrilled to present the final map! Visit our gallery to to see the full thing, and become a supporter at buff.ly/4bicgoh

Thread.
The cancellation of @mashagessen's @BoellStiftung Hannah-Arendt-Prize is an affront to Hannah Arendt's memory.
By their own logic, the @BoellStiftung needs to cancel the Hannah-Arendt-Prize altogether.

Make a 20-track comp of your all-time fav tracks, each artist can only feature once. Not the 'best' songs, the ones that bring instant joy the second you hear the first note, the ones that give other people the best insight into what stirs your soul. Share when ready. #20tracks

I try not to plug papers on here, but Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling got me into philosophy and it is incredibly surreal to have my thoughts on that baffling and mysterious text in print.
