A minor update to "Who translated Michel Foucault’s The Order of Things?" I've been told one of the two claimants died in 2012, and I already knew the other died in 2015. It seems this is only going to be resolved by some other archival trace somewhere.

The review is great, too, but the real measure of @danlor.bsky.social ’s impact on Zerilli is how frequently and penetratingly the same themes show up in her *Democratic Theory of Truth*, which is… just out? Coming out this month?

Agreed, but the discourse is always about their "mission". If their mission is education and research, and not just making more and more money, the choice here should be clear.
