Do Humeans Need Phronesis? - The Journal of Value Inquiry

The resurgence of virtue ethics in the last 50 years has often been guided by Aristotelian approaches. Recently, however, several scholars have attempted to develop an ethics of virtue inspired by Hum...

My latest paper is out (open-access)! I argue that Humean (i.e., pluralist and sentiment-based) variants of virtue ethics need to provide us with an account of something like phronesis (i.e., practical wisdom) in order to be plausible. link-springer-com.eux.idm.oclc.org/article/10.1...

Our latest paper is out, open-access and free for all to read! In the paper, we apply philosophical methods to explore the challenges that our concept of moral responsibility faces when confronted with autonomous AI technologies.

Junior Research Fellowship at Oxford on Virtue Ethics commencing in January 2026! Looks like a great opportunity for a recent grad student or early postdoc working on virtue. www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/about-regent...

Daily Hume quote: "Good and ill are universally intermingled and confounded; happiness and misery, wisdom and folly, virtue and vice. Nothing is pure and entirely of a piece."

Great to listen to the latest episode of @biounethical.bsky.social. As always, great content and very interesting conversations! www.biounethical.com/episodes/epi...

Some serious Midgley happening at the BSHP 2025 conference yesterday @enricogalvagni.bsky.social & @gsmcelwain.bsky.social #philsky

Wonderful symposium session on #MaryMidgley at @thebshp.bsky.social annual conference. Firstly the brilliant @philosophellie.bsky.social #SophiaConnell on Midgley’s Zoological approach to Aristotle’s Ethics. Followed by equally fantastic @enricogalvagni.bsky.social on Hume & Midgley on the study 1/2

Very glad to now be formally affiliated with @technomoralfutures.bsky.social at Edinburgh Futures Institute. After spending the past few years working on moral concepts and their history, it is now time to also start thinking about their future! www.technomoralfutures.uk/our-people-a...

Incredible that Kant could only think of three things to critique

Out of context quote of the day: "Any crash course on evil must acknowledge a great debt to the Scots" -Mary Midgley

I’m organizing a conference for philosophy graduate students—The 14th Annual Arché Graduate Conference! This will be a great opportunity for students to present their work, network, and spend some time on the charming Scottish coastal town, St Andrews! Please share with your network. #philsky

My “philosophical methodology” is to stare out of the window and hope desperately that something occurs to me

I’ve been looking at some biographical material of the founders of modern physics and it’s striking how much attention they paid to philosophy: Bohr was obsessed with Kierkegaard and his followers, Einstein read Kant. Heisenberg read Plato's Timaeus.

I wrote something that I actually find philosophically satisfying. Now let's see how it gets rejected by every possible journal out there.

Warmest congratulations to Eric Sheng (University of Oxford) and Darcy Forster (University of Sydney), who are the winner and runner up in the BSHP Graduate Essay Prize competition for 2024 #philsky

I'm halfway through a sabbatical dedicated to writing a book based on my yearly interviews with Mary Midgley from 2011-18 for @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social. I'm curious about which topics people are most interested in? Feel free to DM!
