Sure, epistemic injustice is interesting, but no one talks about the culinary injustice of living outside México, which is a hundred years ahead in terms of street food culture.

Given all the discussion of Cofnas et al these last few days, seems like a good time to remind people that I have a starter pack of people who work on (and against) scientific racism you can use to find more relevant people to follow

If you would like to learn about the #Stoics and my views on all the recent hype around them, this is your chance. I will give a public lecture at Bray Library on Tuesday, 25 August. It is free and open to everyone, but places are limited.
Poster for a talk by Dr Daniel Vázquez on the Stoics. It features a statue of a Greek philosopher.

Publishing a journal article in 2025 but in volume 32, issue 2, 2024(!) is like the paradox in the Zhuangzi of going to Yue today and arriving yesterday. I find it usually annoying, but it's fitting for a paper about time. www.pdcnet.org/philosophica...

I'm so excited about these book arrivals. They look great. The one on the Stoics immediately makes me want to write about the diversity of Stoic metaphysics, but I'll report later what I think of it.

What is an instant? Is it in time? Plato's Parmenides has a famous, weird, and difficult passage that discusses these questions. In this paper, I offer my take on it. Despite my reviewer 2 best efforts, I also discuss Star Trek transporters and Thanos. www.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf...

This is what happens when you rely on international student fees to subsidise inadequate government funding for #HigherEducation, and then create a hostile environment for immigration.

On meeting me, an academic told me they hoped I was not an analytic philosopher. I don't see that label as an identity, but I hope my commitment to clarity will not disappoint.
