A striking outburst in William James’ Principals of Psychology.
After outlining the problems with all available solutions to the mind-brain problem, James suddenly attacks both Hegelian dialectics and Herbert Spencer’s agnostic scientism as “spiritual chlorophorm”.

After spending a year and a half proselytising about Jason Josephson-Storm’s The Myth of Disenchantment, the inevitable has finally happened and a friend requested the copy I’d gotten from the library.
At least transferring over all my annotations gives me a fun chance to read it again.

@marika.bsky.social Hi! This is bit of a random question, but: I’ve been thinking a lot about apophasis and desire in relation to your book on failure, and was wondering if you were familiar with William Desmond’s work on metaphysical perplexity?

@yanotes.bsky.social going by your profile, any chance you’re working on H.D.?
It’s not part of my PhD thesis, but I have a little piece forthcoming on epic and apocalyptic as competing modes in Trilogy and Helen in Egypt.

this #ModWrite, I checked my spam folder only to discover an acceptance for this year’s #Woolf2025 conference in KCL and Sussex!
hours later, I got accepted for an exciting new edited collection with a proposal on D. H. Lawrence and the Unknowable, exploring the links between Spencer & Blavatsky!

The incredible diversity of expression of human religiosity continues to evolve 🍅
When I woke up this morning I had a message from my niece in England asking me to go to "cherry tomato bridge", which is apparently a thing on TikTok. So I did. There are tomatoes on it, and ketchup, presumably offerings to the tomato god. 🤷🏼♀️
