Twin-volume alert: Hoping two vols – some 6 lb of solid research – on women #philosopers in the #19thCentury will leave a mark on the field. Thanks to @lydiamoland.bsky.social and Alison Stone for their superb editorship. Challenging a male-dominated canon, one page at a time. #philsky #books

The Great Courses Plus has remastered digitally Thomas Noble’s “The Foundations of Western Civilization”. It looks fantastic! I hope more remasterings are coming of back-catalog classics. @kevinmanzel.bsky.social? #TheGreatCourses

Read on Greg Wilson's blog (can't find him on Bluesky). "...it was time to acknowledge that working programmers aren’t going to care about software engineering research in my lifetime..." Not a good thing, if true for most programmers. third-bit.com/2024/12/15/w...

@drdanvers.bsky.social not only is this a book on an undeservedly forgotten philosopher, it’s beautifully written. @emilyherring.bsky.social has done a fantastic job.

Absolutely remarkable the respect (and then fear and jealousy) commanded by Hypatia as an intellectual when women were afforded precious few independent opportunities.

This week's Philosophy Questions: 1. Can societies filled with individualists ever work? 2. Is the herd mentality a natural phenomenon that holds our societies together? 3. Are groups merely placid & mediocre, or also highly dangerous? 4. Can we ever grow as a group, or only as an individual?

Can societies filled with individualists ever work?

And are we doomed to be ruled by the tyranny of the mediocre among us?

I am sad to be at the end of this wonderful book, but also to have read that Bergson's reputation declined after the WW I. He deserves better. I hope that Dr. Herring's book will help rehabilitate interest in Bergson's thought. This is by far the best book I read this year. 2/2 #philsky #philsci

Today I finished @emilyherring.bsky.social's biography of Henri Bergson, "Herald of a Restless World". Her writing was engaging and clear. It's really a model of how to write a contemporary biography today. The last sections of the book are a beautiful elegy to Bergson. 1/2 #philski #philsci

It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch. If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.

Best practice: If there is no guidance or document detailing how and under what conditions third parties may use the information, consider it unavailable for research purposes and exclude it from the data.

And I note the irony of the fact that the share link at the end of this article doesn't include a conduit to Bluesky. Of course, it still refers to X-Twitter as "Twitter" too. 😆

Neil deGrasse Tyson tweets: "In school, rarely do we learn how data become facts, how faces become knowledge, and how knowledge becomes wisdom." Matthew Gabriele quote tweets: "Literally, the Humanities."
