Now that I don't have an institutional affiliation, I am going to set up a website to share the work I've published over the years. Any suggestions for tools to build a simple website? #academicchatter

What are the moral limits of markets?
Many people balk at the idea of markets for votes, kidneys, surrogacy, or sexual services. But why are some markets morally troubling while others are widely accepted? 🧵 #morallimitsofmarkets

A fellow philosopher wrote me that I’m the philosopher he disagrees with the most, and that he hasn’t read a single paper of mine he agrees with.
