Nicolas Delon on Levelling the Linguistic Playing Field within Academic Philosophy (guest post)

Merits of the argument aside (full disclosure: I signed the Barcelona manifesto and support a linguistically inclusive profession), am I the only one to wonder […]
John on How Can Departments Support Grad Students in Labor Disputes?

I'll offer a really simple thought: no graduate students, then no research position with a cushy 2/2 load. So we should offer our support: graduate
Kenny Easwaran on New Plug-In Improves the SEP Experience

Looks nice! The one additional thing I often find myself looking for on the SEP is for the author's name to be listed at the
Kenny Easwaran on Which Philosopher Co-Authors Most?

  • “There can be a lot of natural values, all equally valuable and natural, but different ones need different circumstances or social settings to be realized—so they will occur or flower at different times/places” -- an interview with Rachel Zuckert (Northwestern), who pays attention to "real tensions real facts about art and our appreciation of it"
