Here'sa "metaphysical diagram" drawn by well-known philosopher and scientist Charles S. Peirce when he was still very young (1859). What can historians of philosophy do with visual material of this sort, beyond treating it as a mere illustration? 1/n

What is so far the most incredible case of hallucinated reference happened today: a PhD proposal intentionally submitted to me as a potential supervisor contained a non-existent entry allegedly written by me.... 🫨

One thing that will stick with me forever about #CarloGinzburg as a teacher is his generosity. Both of his time and of his energy. A student's age or seniority didn't matter -- he would get enthusiastic about a new research idea if he saw something in it... (1/n) en.ilsole24ore.com/art/farewell...

Thanks to @tullioviola.bsky.social for this wonderful talk on Jane #Addams, WEB Du Bois and the #epistemology of folk narratives. So many rich philosophical threads. #dubois #philsky #womeninphilosophy #pragmatism

I've written a short piece on Aby Warburg and his rather idiosyncratic use of everyday photography to document the presence of ancient "Pathosformeln" (emotionally charged representations of the body) in his own time. It's out both in IT and EN in a wonderful exhibition catalogue: lnkd.in/eeeS67yN

This piece is great, in particular for its emphasis on the epistemic / logical potential of close reading and its political value. Grateful for it

🟥 Today, academics in the Netherlands are striking to put pressure on the government to remove the devastating cuts to higher education that are still under discussion. Send solidarity! 🟥

I will soon be hosting an interdisciplinary workshop at @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social on "Heritage: A Concept at the Crossroads of Biology and Culture" (Sept 19th), co-organized with Giovanna Targia. Programme here: philevents.org/event/show/1...

Looking forward to starting this new project on Jane Addams, WEB Du Bois, and the social epistemology of folk narratives.

We don't just need universities to train doctors and engineers... We also need humanists, to help us to understand the world we live in. I am striking because we need to educate the next generation of teachers, journalists, and opinion makers. @tullioviola.bsky.social #WOinACTIE #StakingHO

It's almost as much fun here on @bsky.app as on Twitter 5 years ago. Hopefully, many institutions like Maastricht University and its Law school follow soon.
