Teotihuacan was first constructed with palaces that indicate social hierarchy. But, at some point, the citizens began “supplying high-quality apartments for nearly all the city’s population, regardless of wealth,” David Graeber and David Wengrow write.

The Cambridge Spinoza Lexicon, which includes my entry on Spinoza's Absolute, is now available!

It features entries from incredible scholars whose work has influenced mine and whom I admire deeply.

I'm truly grateful to the editors, Karolina Hübner and Justin Steinberg, for their invitation.

Thanks, AI. So far Kristin seems to be on pretty solid ground.

Thank you, Alex! I look forward to it :)

Thrilled and honoured to begin 2025 participatinh in this workshop with Spinoza scholars that I respect and admire so much!

Thank you to Leonardo Moauro and Domink Perler for their generous invitation.
