Here it is! My Japanese fiction writing debut! The first short story I’ve ever written from start to finish in my second language!

My story “フォトボマー” (Photo Bomber), is in this anthology “恐怖とSF”（Fear and Sci-fi), released today by Hayakawa, Japan’s oldest and largest SF publisher.

New co-authored paper with Zoheir Bagheri Noaparast just published open access at Philosophical Papers.

We argue that Wittgenstein dichotomises religion from science, and that his approach is therefore not conducive to a diverse philosophy of religion.

Had a great time working on this!

Thanks to Dave Beck for inviting me onto a podcast with him and Hefin Gwilym to discuss our recent publication, A Difficult Start for the UK Labour Government, But Time Is Still on Their Side.

A clip and a blog that I wrote can be found at: drdavebeck.substack.com/p/tax-the-bo...

I've finished, edited & (mostly) settled on what I'll present at this year's BSPR. I discuss why Wittgensteinians think arguments from design don't lead to religious belief & can even be repellent, and suggest how arguments can be changed in light of these criticisms

Visited Leeds library again this morning to edit the paper I’m presenting at @ox.ac.uk in September at the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion conference. While there, I spotted what appears to be graffiti from 1893!

Reminder - online conference: *Wittgenstein, On Certainty and Religion* starts tomorrow evening (UK time 18:00)!

There’s still time to register your attendance, email [email protected] for a link).
