I’m teaching logic at UTA and most students are theater, arts, music etc. and some engineering students. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed teaching logic more before than this class. #philsky

The virtue of artificiality: Islamic ethics and the reconceptualization of AI caregivers - AI and Ethics The artificiality of AI, while often problematic in Western ethical frameworks, uniquely aligns with Islamic ethics. Where standard criticisms of carebots emphasize dignity, deception, and simulated c...

New paper! πŸŽ‰ I presented this at @iaseai.bsky.social in Feb 2025. The standard AI ethics view considers Carebots' artificiality problematic. Islamic ethics differ: AI as "neutragents" may be preferable for practicing Muslims, avoiding strangers. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philtech #philsky

Agreed! I think a study should take into consideration the outliers!

Hmm yea.. you’d have to take this into consideration too..

This is basically it.. and I agree it would be very difficult to set up the study. Maybe, one could make some choices on which data points to consider. Like from you lost all but coffee with friend I’d keep.. not to say that’s not important!

Does anyone know of data on how long it typically takes to write a Phil paper (publishable in at least mid-tier journals)? For example, research, writing, editing, revision, revision 2 etc?

I’m curious about how many hrs philo researchers & teachers generally work.

Now with all the official stuff taken care of, I can freely share that I was fortunate enough to secure a TT position for Fall '25 at the University of Texas-Arlington. Very thankful to @johnfsymons.bsky.social @sarahrobins.bsky.social, Brad Cokelet, @coreymaley.net & KU Phil. #philtech #philsky
