There's now also a poster for our November conference Learning from History: The Philosophies of Historiography and the Historical Sciences. The submission deadline is in the end of August. Please spread the word, and come to Ostrava to discuss the historical sciences and their philosophy with us!
I respect and fear people who don't feel the urge to escape into the woods when they need to make a phone call. Couldn't be me.

To access my Geneva admin profile, I have to retrieve my PIN code by an automated voice message. In French. This, and only this, is what those random listening exercises in French classes have prepared me for.
Me: "I think my new philosophical project is more fun than what I've been doing previously." My wife Emma: "I think you're stretching the word 'fun' beyond its natural boundaries."
