Picked up this bad boy for £3 in a charity shop - absolute steal! #philosophy #phenomenology

Looking forward to contributing to this excellent-looking program for the upcoming NoSP conference, where I’ll be trying to make sense of Merleau-Ponty’s thoughts on quantum theory! #philosophy #phenomenology 🧪

I’m a big fan of the North + late modern philosophy, so I’m super pleased to have been invited to speak at the Northern Seminar in Late Modern Philosophy in June! #philosophy

I enjoyed putting together this article for @iai.tv #philosophy #philsci

The quantum world reveals reality is made of relations, not objects

<p><em>We assume that objects are more fundamental than the relationships between those objects. However, philosopher <strong>George Webster</strong> argues that quantum mechanics upends this common-s...

Deadline coming up! The 2026 Swedish Congress of Philosophy (”Filosofidagarna”) will be hosted by the @stockholm-uni.bsky.social Department of Philosophy, June 12–14. www.su.se/english/divi... #philsky #philsci

I was surprised by this distribution of intuitions among a group of Yr12 (aged 16-17) students yesterday! Turns out most 16-17 year-olds are motivational externalists! #philosophy

Folks on the academic job market shouldn’t be allowed to watch No Other Choice. It’s irresponsible. #philosophy #highered #academic

Pleased to be presenting again at the Nordic Society for Phenomenology conference this year - this time at Tampere University 🇫🇮 I'll be talking about Merleau-Ponty's engagement with quantum theory in his "Visible and the Invisible". #philosophy #phenomenology #physics 🧪

I like to pretend it’s the *Iris* Murdoch room. #philosophy

"I really like the ideas of Jeremy Bentham." "The ones about maximising pleasure and treating everyone equally?" "Not those ones, no." "Animal welfare? Decriminalising consensual sexual acts? Expanding democratic accountability?" "Not exactly." "Which ones then?" "Oh, you know the ones..."

Shabana Mahmood here, whose “ultimate vision” is to turn the world into a prison

Just gave a talk @computingnewcastle.bsky.social on the prospects of a phenomenological approach to quantum reconstruction. Huge thanks to @jonterhance.bsky.social for inviting me! #philosophy #phenomenology 🧪

Great piece! Reveals a lot about the state of contemporary philosophy of biology, and how studying Bergson can help move it forward! #philosophy 🧪

Why should we read Henri Bergson's "Creative Evolution" today? There is more than just one reason, see my extended book review, just published in Mind: academic.oup.com/mind/advance... #Bergson #philosophy #philbio #ProcessPhilosophy #biology #science #HenriBergson

Good little free-book haul. #philosophy #books

Something else that struck me was Michael Dummett’s backwards view regarding who gets to study philosophy. 😞 Paraphrasing his reply to her letter rallying support in the face of the closure of Newcastle’s philosophy department, Midgley reports that: (1/2) #philosophy #philsky

Finally got round to reading this excellent book. Definitely recommend it to - well, anyone! #philsky #philosophy

Very much like this! Will share with my students!

Also new today, my fourth piece of advice on writing about history of philosophy: about focusing on the primary text instead of secondary literature (and how to use secondary literature when you do use it). www.historyofphilosophy.net/rules-writin... #philosophy #philsky #writingtips

Something I like is Midgley’s (2018) critique of artificial intelligence - a couple of years before gen AI started to blow up. Here’s a good passage: “Why […] should anyone expect these extra calculative powers to make the difference that is needed? The confusions that now afflict human life… 1/3

Note to self: When you teach the problem of induction at a commuter campus, the example that your justification that your car is where you think you left it is that it always has been in the past is a powerful one. 💪 Keep using!

So, I just discovered that Heisenberg visited Leeds in 1927! the occasion was the annual meeting of the BrIrish Association for the Advancement of Science, where he gave an address on ‘Recent Progress in Quantum Physics’: www.nytimes.com/1927/09/02/a...
