A very moving final session on the work of Julius Kovesi - an ‘associate of the Quartet’ and a fascinating philosopher that I am so glad that I now know about. A superb paper and session by Alan Tapper @inparenthesis.bsky.social

‘To an adult in formal dress, engaged on his statesmanly interactions, the fence is an insuperable barrier. Down below, where it is full of holes, it presents no obstacle at all. The young Homo sapiens, like those of other species present, scurry through it all the time.’ 1/5
