This was special. I got to host ABC's The Philosophers' Zone, in celebration of International Women's Day. And - the best part - I interviewed my good friend Kristin Gjesdal. Hear Kristin (and me) talk about IWD and the woman behind it, Clara Zetkin, here: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The reluctant feminist: Clara Zetkin and International Women's Day - ABC listen

Clara Zetkin (1857-1933) is widely celebrated as the founder of International Women's Day, yet she saw herself first and foremost as a socialist revolutionary. Far from embracing the mainstream women'...

For more on Zetkin, I highly recommend @kristingjesdal.bsky.social's incisive interview with @herplacepod.bsky.social, especially re Zetkin's analysis of fascism. She died in exile in 1933--she knew what she was talking about. #IWD #IWD2026 #herstory #womenshistory open.spotify.com/episode/3j8Q...

Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!

How to think about children and education? About learning and learning well? Maria Montessori’s work should not be overlooked. She was a formidable philosopher. Patrick Frierson’s new book on her philosophy of education does her full justice. Summer reading, anyone? #philsky #booksky #education

A political superpower à la England and Russia! Germaine de Staël was born 04/22/1766. Her philosophy? Humboldt adored her moral psychology; Goethe and Schiller praised her aesthetics. New translations of her philosophy are much overdue. Here, too, she is a superpower -

Ibsen’s “Ghosts,” directed by Jack O’Brian, at the LCT, NYC, is definitely worthwhile. And this comes from somebody who has seen what probably amounts to an unhealthy number of Ibsen stagings, esp. while researching my Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche-book. #books #performance

Assuming a book about a woman philosopher – for @lydiamoland.bsky.social’s #womenshistorymonth-challenge - can be written by the philosopher herself. Mary Midgley’s memoir is a favorite. 230 pages packed with wisdom. Her view of philosophy? Not a luxury but a necessity. #philsky #booksky

Was Dag Solstad obsessed with a desolate universe? Possibly. His characters are alienated, world-weary, and struggle to fit into the modern world. He was a giant in Norwegian literature. Do read the obituary in today’s NYT. His work deserves more Anglophone readers and translations - #booksky
