A few Daily Nous readers have reported that occasionally when they view the site the comments on posts are not loading. (more…)
Discussion About Discussions Here
Since there appears to be interest in discussing the recent experiments here regarding the comments (see some of the comments on the “Illusion and Agreement in the Debate over Intolerance” post), I thought I’d open up a separate space for that. (more…)

2019: A Look Back
What news and issues concerning the philosophy profession received the most attention in 2019? Among last year’s top stories were a philosopher’s punishment for sexual harassment, the rallying of academics worldwide to defend the study of philosophy in a country in which it was under attack, philosophers commenting on a provocative physics experiment, the philosophy..

Daily Nous Turns Five
Daily Nous began with a brief welcome message five years ago, today, around this time. Some of you may be thinking: “five years already? No way!” Others may be thinking, “only five years?

A Note On Making Discussions Here Better
We often have vigorous and contentious discussions in the comments here at Daily Nous, and this past week—with its focus on philosophizing about transgender issues—was no exception (see here and here).

Message from the Editor regarding “A Tale of Two Conferences”
Running a news and discussion site for professional philosophers involves, among other things, making judgments about what is and what is not newsworthy.
That a story is newsworthy is not to say that a post about it will appear at Daily Nous, for there may be countervailing considerations that provide reasons not to post about it, or there might be circumstances ..
Site Layout Issues
Yesterday morning, some changes were made to the layout here at Daily Nous (most visibly, some of the advertising slots were moved around). Some people have reported that the site now looks “different” or “avant garde” or “completely screwed up.” Here’s how it should look (on a normal-sized laptop):
This Week at Daily Nous
This week Daily Nous will be publishing a number of guest posts. I’m at a conference and will have considerably less time to attend to the site and to philosophy news. Feel free to keep me informed about what’s going on, but please note that posts and replies to emails will be slower to appear. (more…)

Daily Nous Turns 2
Daily Nous turns 2 today!
Time flies. I was looking through the old scrapbook the other day and it is amazing how much DN has changed since those first few months…
