Great roundtable review on After Kant in @HDiplo - with contributions from M. C. Behrent, A. Jainchill & Eva Piirimäe & a reply by M. Sonenscher
Sonenscher: “Events begin and end, but ideas have fuzzier or more porous boundaries.”

“One of my aims in writing about the long debate over how to think about the concept of civil liberty was to ask whether those who eventually lost the battle may nevertheless have won the argument. To change the metaphor, I have been in quest of buried treasure.”
This looks fascinating.
Thanks @tomaashby.bsky.social

New review of Michael Sonenscher’s Capitalism contains this absolute gem
(That the review is by an economist makes the claim even more farcical)

For what it’s worth, I still think one of the best studies of the late Alasdair MacIntyre & his thought is this 2005 intellectual biography by Emile Perreau-Saussine (now translated into English)

26.04.2025 22:06 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Mary Pickering has done some great work on the fallout between Saint-Simon and Comte. After SS’s death, there was a short period when it looked like Comte might become the leader of the movement, but he had a mental crisis in the late 1820s, during which time Bazard & Enfantin rose to influence

Nice to see Suffrage, Capital, and Welfare: Conditional Citizenship in Historical Perspective online and open access. @fia-c-s.bsky.social and Ragnheiður Kristjánsdóttir are model academics who organised a generative workshop from which these papers emerged: link.springer.com/book/10.1007... 🗃️
