I spent weeks bloviating about why I hated bell hooks’ All About Love. My editor told me to find my actual argument and write it up. Thankfully I found the work of Elizabeth Brake which helped me order my frustrations.

Love Is Not a Virtue: The philosophy of bell hooks | Omari Edwards
bell hooks redefined love as a moral practice, but what if this vision, far from liberating us, turns love into a straitjacket? | iai.tv/articles/lov...
In this essay, @omariedwards.bsky.social draws on philosopher Elizabeth Brake’s work to question the ethical ideal at the heart of hooks’ theory.

Alasdair MacIntyre: The Man Who Declared Morality a Fiction | Omari Edwards
Anyone wanting to get a real flavour for the essence of Alasdair MacIntyre’s thought has the pleasure of rereading the preface to his third addition. A clear statement of intent and a rare case of a philosopher (including myself) being clear iai.tv/articles/ala...

We don’t get to always pick out titles but MacIntyre’s work was the one time I was glad I was made to read Thomas Aquinas

Sapolsky vs Sartre: The free will debate is not over
Are your thoughts truly your own, or the product of forces beyond your control? | iai.tv/articles/sap...
@omariedwards.bsky.social explores what’s really at stake in the free will debate: not just metaphysics, but how we live, judge, and take responsibility.

Sapolsky and Sartre got there first, but don’t let that stop you from reading my take on the great free will debate. I tried to be funny. If you laugh, it was always meant to be. If you don’t… well, blame determinism.

Trump, China, and the end of Western dominance | Rana Mitter, Omari Edwards
And for my first post on Bluesky, an interview with Harvard Professor Rana Mitter on Trump, China and the rise of a multipolar world.
“Great powers compete… for maximisation of power…. not just military power… it can mean economic power… affinities and values.”
