Check our these excellent articles by Benjamin Matheson and Alba Montes Sanchez! Both use parenthood to explore very different questions: while Matheson's original three-book review dives into anxiety, guilt & pride, Montes Sanchez discusses how emotion helps knowing what we really want.

Claude AI agent’s confession after deleting a firm’s entire database: ‘I violated every principle I was given’

A century ago Glasgow was thrust into a major episode of class conflict and industrial strife, the 1926 General Strike. It's a privilege to have been asked to address the Glasgow Trades Council May Day rally on Sunday where I'll discuss the significance of 1926 in the here and now.

The latest issue of JESP has just been published! Head over to www.jesp.org to read new articles about proxy responsibility, a progressive critique of rap music, grounding human rights, first-person authority over gender, politics and foreign donations, supererogation, and reparations.

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌

New paper co-authored with Seyyed Mohsen Eslami defending our cautionary account of supererogation against Alireza Kazemi's thoughtful criticisms. Given all that is happening, it is worth mentioning how much I have learned from these two Iranian philosophers. www.jesp.org/index.php/je... #philsky

My public philosophy piece on break-ups and morality is out today in the blog of the APA. It picks up on several threads in my ongoing work on the party who does the breaking up, but if I have to pick the one highlight: breaking up is hard, and you must be prepared to get it wrong.
