Another compelling way to think about politics and time. Gratitude to @polphilpod.bsky.social for all his great interviews.

Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 2y ago"I've always found a strange optimism in the worldly perspective of The Discourses . . . worldly orders rise and decline, sometimes die. And yet the world does not come to an end" @aejm.bsky.social www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/ra

The second day of the HCAS Symposium Theoretical Foundations for Interdisciplinarity was opened by @aejm.bsky.social (Stanford University) with her inspiring talk "Text-as-Data in the History of Political Thought". Program: blogs.helsinki.fi/interdiscipl...
Goodreads reviews of Machiavelli's The Prince: (1) "Ewww self-serving theories of tyranny for personal gain are sooo not hot." (2) “Some fine points, but it's basically the most boring fucking cover letter you'll ever read.” (3) “Rather useful if you get the urge to invade a small country.”
Huge congratulations to @matthewblongo.bsky.social for his starred review in Kirkus for The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain - so excited to read the book!
