🎉 I’ll be at the next APA meeting in Boston as part of a panel organized by the North American Neo-Kantian Society! Back in the glory days of Philosophy Twitter, I always read a lot of stories about APA meetings, so, now that I’m going to one, I’m not even sure whether to be excited or nervous.

I am so honored that my recent paper, “”, caught the attention of this clearly not-at-all-predatory journal.

Today's is father's day in Italy and someone posted this quote from Schiller in our family WhatsApp group, so I had to make this. *

Theoretical biologist Meyer-Abich argued that biological laws are more fundamental than physical laws His example: we can't deduce how a cat falls from how a stone falls. But we can say that a stone falls like a dead cat Given a biological law, by abstracting from life, we obtain the physical law

The Laboratory for the Study of Neo-Kantianism I coordinate at Naples University has the acronym SToNE, and now our email has been bombarded by messages from firms that ask if we're interested in their supply of marble and stone for sinks and other appliances.

I've watched the last movie by Guadagnino, in which Julia Roberts plays a philosophy professor at Yale. My main takeaway is that I was glad to learn that even at Yale students are recruited as attendees at academic events in exchange for credits.

I'd love to go to HOPOS 2026. The last edition in Vienna was great, I had an idea for submission, and I have research founds that can cover the expenses. But no way I'm setting foot in the USA. Sorry for all the folks who work and collaborate with @hoposjournal.bsky.social, but it's a pass for me.

It's probably impossible to establish who is the greatest mind in the history of philosophy. But I'm pretty sure Leibniz is the greatest out-of-the-box-thinker.

When I go to a concert I always try to get the setlist as a souvenir. I've had some strange ones over the years (the Dum Dum Girls one written on the back of a communist protest flyer), but King Hannah's setlist written on a paper plate takes the prize.

The spread of AI art makes me think of Schiller The Artists Oh, may a degenerate yearn never Humble you to be her abject slave! In industry the bee the palm may bear In skill the worm a lesson may impart With blessed spirits your knowledge you do share But Art, O Man, you have alone!

Based on my experience and that of colleagues, I'm beginning to think that journals rejecting papers with "this is not a history of philosophy paper, but a history of ideas paper" is their version of dumping a partner with "it's not you, it's me".

Going in a new Mike Flanagan's show I knew I was up for emotional moments, but I wasn't ready for this quote to hit this hard in the first few minutes of the first episode: "To truly love another person is to accept that the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them."

When I was training to be a teacher in high school, I met a nonverbal autistic student. His support teacher had me read a heartwarming letter he had "written" thanks to facilitated communication. I was immediately suspicious. It seemed like the typical situation: too-good-to-be-true + projection.

👇 This! Sometimes you don't need a lot of money to do important research in the humanities, but grants programs value big projects more.

The feeling when two posts from two users you thought were the same person appear next to each other in the timeline. I also wonder which user people are confusing me with.

I know you have seen dogs playing poker, but have you seen cats winning at it? Google has. Still can't believe this is production technology from the unrivaled leader in internet search. (Kitty Kuo is a human professional poker player)

has a cat ever won a poker tournament?
