Apropos of today’s news I just had a piece published in Radical Philosophy about the turn towards biological essentialism in law and policy. I’m arguing the SC decision in FWS and attempts to restrict disability welfare fundamentally come from the same place of wanting to limit state protections

And 40 years after Peter Osborne published his now (in)famous review of Rose’s Hegel contra Sociology in RP, R. L. Scott has written a really interesting piece on what her phenomenology of necessary illusion brings to critical theory today. Enjoy your August reading!

Kanafani was neither born a Marxist, nor can his ideo- logical turn as part of the Popular Front’s emergence be adequately described as an ‘adoption’ of Marxism. The necessity of an idea tends to precede its arrival: if the former is adequately accounted for, the latter rarely ap- pears a matter of pure choice.
The current issue of @radical-philosophy.bsky.social has Francesco Anselmetti writing on the dialectic of thought and action in the writings of Ghassan Kanafani www.radicalphilosophy.com/article/brea...

You can find my review of Melyana Kay Lamb's 'Philosophical History of Police Power' in the new Radical Philosophy @radical-philosophy.bsky.social
It's a really interesting book, but I have some issues with the level of abstraction it takes towards police power.
Great piece by Sita Balani for @radical-philosophy.bsky.social with some nice engagement with mine, @jameskneale.bsky.social + Vallu's work on pubs as spaces of mundane conviviality + work on gyms

Pafe's review cites various critical articles on Rose published in Radical Philosophy and elsewhere over the years.
Howard Caygill wrote the obituary on Rose for RP in 1996:

2. Harrison Fluss and Benjamin Noys question Rose's "dismissal of Lukács and the choice of Adorno" and argue that "there is more to realism than Rose is inclined to accept"

It's hard to imagine Radical Philosophy without CRMEP - so many former and current members of the editorial collective have either taught or trained there
Read @germainequeer.bsky.social on the planned closure of the CRMEP in the current issue...
