„He died learning“ as an epitaph for an academic is both admirable and a bit sad.

Listening to Viennese Bildunsgsbürger*innen whine about a theatre performance over ein Glas Sekt is both amusing and why I don’t want to die in this city.

In the 1930s, a group of European philosophers fled fascism and reshaped American philosophy. Why did logical positivism have such an impact on US thought? And why did it play a central role in the culture wars of the 1950s and 1960s? Released today! Logical Positivism: An American History (1/3)

Editing my book (forthcoming, De Gruyter!), found that I’d quoted Dilthey complaining in a letter to his publisher (Walter de Gruyter!) about being exhausted and unable to meet his deadlines. Very pleased with this.

Got to see Giotto's frescoes in Padua. Despair & Hope were the ones that stayed with me. Sadly, the museum shop didn't cater to my specific emotional and aesthetic needs.

Barbara Day's The Velvet Philosophers (1999) dives into the history of Czecholovakian underground universities during the Socialist regime. Incredible stories and facts - from Derrida's imprisonment to the amount of leaders (e g. Havel) who studied UG so to speak... A great read!

United Kingdom, 2011. "After a bleak childhood, Jane Eyre goes out into the world to become a governess at Thornfield House, an isolated and imposing residence, property of the cold and mysterious Mr Rochester.

I cycle back and forth between theories explaining fascism, on one end are complex philosophical and sociological theories with a long historical and intellectual tail and on the other end it’s ’they’re resentful idiots that want to kill everyone different from them’
