I tried to find as many as I could. Please let me know which additional colleagues to add.

My paper "Friendship with the ancients" is out in Journal of the APA.
I look at the philosophical practice to "make friends" with long-dead authors, and what you get out of it: a specific kind of understanding, relational understanding, and intellectual humility

Reviewer two, you were wrong and you were mean. But your review made us do more experiments sooner than we otherwise would have, and because of that we're learning new things that make our story better.

Making philosophy truly global involves rethinking what is "philosophy", and realizing that what we happen to consider "philosophy" and "not philosophy" is the result of historical accidents. There can be redde rationem within speculations abt ritual and dogmatism within logic
