I think eckhart was a bit more radical... Our most fundamental part is identical with God's most fundamental part... As opposed to Eastern view that we share God's form of existence but not God's essence... Both cool though

Morgan McSweeney has to be one of the worst Prime Ministers the UK has ever had. Definitely time to get rid of him and get @andyburnham.bsky.social in instead.

I’m officially no longer just a crank who just argues about philosophy on the Internet. I’m now a crank who has had a paper accepted to Synthese! Here’s a post about it.

“I don’t see why a man should take thirty pages to describe how he turns over in his bed before he goes to sleep.”

A publisher rejecting Proust.

Every academic - “Can you really do that properly in a mere 30 pages?”

Enjoyed this week visiting St. Edward's school in Oxford, speaking to each of their year groups in turn, and giving an evening talk on the theme of a God of limited power.

For the entire Eastern church, the "at-one-ment" is all about Deification: Jesus became human so that we can become gods. In the West, we've become used to hearing "atonement" as about punishment but that's not what it means.
