I was struck by this statement

Hinsey’s “intimations of that higher realm” are not of a morally neutral divinity but rather of the Good, which can only be apprehended when we are attuned to a primordial innocence within ourselves (“the good” that “seeks the Good”)

i was incredibly excited to be published by the hopkins review a few years ago. it was something i’d read since undergrad.

if they were looking for a way to suck every dram of good will i had for their press or their university out and spit it into an open sewer, baller move, i guess.

"[5-month-old Zainab Abu Halib] had weighed over 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) when she was born, her mother said. When she died, she weighed less than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) ... Zainab was one of [at least] 85 children to die of malnutrition-related causes in Gaza in the past three weeks."

Oh no ... I am utterly speechless. The, late great, and brilliant Karl Ameriks has passed away. We have lost such a bright star! He was an excellent scholar, historian and Philosopher. :(

That's a wrap on my series of recent books on women in #philosophy for #womenshistorymonth! You can see them individually in my profile--an impressive list, and I'm sure there are others.

If we don't think they're there, we won't look; if we don't look we won't find them. Here's to finding more!
