“Schopenhauer offers no easy remedies to a disease with no final cure, for the living at least, but Bather Woods successfully shows us if your eyes can adjust to his dark vision of the world, there is much to see” @andyowen.bsky.social

Philosopher David Bather Woods notes that there is a popular style of philosophical biography that presents the philosopher’s life as a model for how to live well. He tells us his new book on Arthur…

If you ask me to give one defining aspect of the character of Hooklanders, it would be their refusal to have their sense of awe diminished. They refuse to be disenchanted. Modernity is no barrier to their sense of encroaching otherworlds. Even in suburbia, they maintain wonder. – Dr. M. Benn

I will say that every experience I have had with Philosophy at the University of Birmingham has been inclusive and supportive, whether I have been there as a teacher, PhD student or as an ECR.

Women can't always say that... so thank-you.

We cannot change the profession all at once, in one big sweep. But we can create a few spaces where things work as we would want them to. Hoping that people notice that good is possible and our micro-utopias catch on. #philsky #academicsky

So much energy from Green Party Conference.

Great to hear about all the local parties in England & Wales calling up their new members, inviting them to action days and getting people involved.

Let's go! 💚🚀

The telegenic eco-socialist has triggered an explosion of interest in the Green party, and a parallel growth in membership. Now he needs to translate enthusiasm into activity, writes Adam Ramsay.

Stuart Hall took Thatcherism seriously & tried to understand its affective & aspirational appeal. Trumpism operates differently, as @cnewf.bsky.social notes, but the need to offer a cultural & political counter-strategy is key. I keep thinking about Hall’s adept use of new forms of media.

Great call to arms by @cnewf.bsky.social, following the tactic of Jed Esty's "Future of Decline" by looking to Stuart Hall & the New Left, & urging us to forego "private agency within our universities" in favor of "collective agency by running them."

Long before “A Room of One’s Own,” Virginia Woolf wrote a trio of fairy tales about a woman named Violet.

This early experimental fiction, rediscovered in 2018, is now being published for the first time, showing Woolf in a startling new light.
