A minor update to "Who translated Michel Foucault’s The Order of Things?" I've been told one of the two claimants died in 2012, and I already knew the other died in 2015. It seems this is only going to be resolved by some other archival trace somewhere. progressivegeographies.com/2025/04/06/w...

This Friday at Penn we'll talk about this great book with its author, Linda Zerilli, and David Owen. Very much looking forward to it! Everybody welcome! philosophy.sas.upenn.edu/events/democ...
If you're in Philadelphia on April 25, do not miss this!
The review is great, too, but the real measure of @danlor.bsky.social ’s impact on Zerilli is how frequently and penetratingly the same themes show up in her *Democratic Theory of Truth*, which is… just out? Coming out this month?
A Democratic Theory of Truth
A critique of the concept of truth presupposed by the post-truth debate—and a bold new vision for a more pluralistic citizenry. We say that we live in a “post-truth” era because disinformation threa...

Strange credibility: ‘avowal’ as functionally factive testimony
Foucault traced the history of a form of testimony he labelled ‘avowal’ (aveu) – effectively a social institution of testimony that counts, necessarily, as true. Looking to the present, I will focu...

Our paper with Sabina Vaccarino Bremner has just been published! We argue that ideology is a way of making sense of the social world, or more precisely, a way of synthesising and systematising experience into a coherent whole. politicalphilosophyjournal.org/article/id/1...
Ideology as Relativized <em>A Priori</em>: On the Mind’s Relation to the Social World
We propose an account of the subject’s cognition and its relation to the world that allows for an articulation of the phenomenon of ideology. We argue that ideology is a form of what we call ‘a priori...
