@maryjomacdonald.bsky.social and Geertje Bol wrote on why flattery of rulers isn't the kind of flattery you should be worried about... Tory feminists show us that flattery is particularly dangerous when it is used to subordinate. 👩‍🏫 First presented at the 2024 WHPT conference in Ghent!

Geertje Bol's @aeon.co essay is out: on Mary Astell and Catharine Macaulay's case for "righteous zeal" — the idea that partisan conviction, even immoderation, can be a political virtue rather than a vice to be tempered. Draws on the argument of her book Partisan Virtue (OUP)

New paper in @polphiljournal.bsky.social: "Ideal Theory as Fetishism." I argue that we should bring the materialist critique of idealism into methodological debates in political theory - and (as you may guess from the title) that ideal theory is a kind of fetishism in the Marxian sense.
