A thought provoking read. One of those books that I probably could not have read before now. I needed to walk a long journey to be ready for this one.

Η αναλυτική φιλοσοφία ήταν πάντα πολιτική - ακόμη και όταν δεν το ομολογούσε | in.gr Ένα πρόσφατο βιβλίο για την αναλυτική φιλοσοφία και την ιστορία της υπενθυμίζει τον βαθιά πολιτικό χαρακτήρα της

(+) Mener dagens filosofi skader venstresiden Filosofifaget i dag tjener kapitalismen, hevder filosof Christoph Schuringa, som har skrevet bok om fremveksten av «analytisk filosofi». – Det er det motsatte av filosofi, konkluderer han.

Hvorfor er dagens filosofi så preget av tekniske og tilsynelatende trivielle spørsmål – som hvorvidt hull eksisterer? Og hvilke sosiale, økonomiske og politiske konsekvenser har dette? Det er temaet for den nye boken til Christoph Schuringa.

Probably not — although there would be an immense amount to say. For now, have you seen the book on Rawls by @katforrester.bsky.social ?

Terribly, terribly sad to hear that Helen de Cruz has died. One of the kindest and most luminous people in philosophy

Haha sorry. That’s a fascinating topic. My sense is that here one would have to say quite different things about, on the one hand, the whole Bloomsbury Group outlook in which Moore is embedded, and, on the other, Russell. I think it will matter here how R undergoes violent changes of mind -

The work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) has received scant consideration in this country (Britain). It has either been ignored, or else it has been dismissed as nastily foreign and obscure.

Sonia Kruks, Radical Philosophy, 1975

I remember it well.
