Richir reader of Fink: method and architectonics
S. Finetti

This paper focuses on an important moment in Richir’s elaboration of the question of method and architectonic: his confrontation with Fink’s phenomenology and especially with Sixth Cartesian

My paper on historical (anti-)realism is now available in EarlyView on @histandtheojrnl.bsky.social's website. It's my attempt at mapping the conceptual space in what I see as a deeply confused landscape, rife for unproductive polemics.

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
A screenshot of the paper's page on the journal website. Paper title: On Historical (Anti-)Realism. Author: João Ohara. Abstract: The problem of historical realism has gained some new momentum recently, with a fresh challenge to what is taken to be an anti-realist hegemony in the theory and philosophy of history. Unfortunately, this has also provided the opportunity for the reheating of old polemics and lazy scholarship that characterized the 1990s reaction to “postmodernism.” Ill-defined questions distract us from more important issues. Here, I offer a map that aims to clarify the conceptual space. I distinguish between a metaphysical problem, which is the problem of historical realism proper, and an epistemological problem, which is sometimes treated under the same phrase but is more adequately called the problem of historical skepticism. I then consider what the targets of each of these discussions are and map the conceptual space of possibilities in them.

They shape how people feel seen and included, as well as our everyday practices.

While Emily Mendenhall's response to the ME/CFS community's criticism is refreshing in its good faith, @longcovidadvoc.com's comment below it (which I've reformated for Bluesky here) is a masterpiece in concise, cogent and respectful dissent. Worth a read. #LongCOVID

(1/2) of Long COVID Advocacy's Response to Emily Mendenhall's Jan 20, 2026 post: "Thresholds is a Biological Theory that Incorporates Social and Ecological Realities" Source: https://emilymendenhall.substack.com/p/thresholds-is-a-biological-theory Thank you for engaging with the community on this, Emily. I would like to highlight some structural concerns with the threshold/polyvagal framing in relation to ME and Long Covid. First, biological language is not evidence. Referencing nerves, thresholds, or regulation does not establish causation. ME and Long Covid have measurable physiological abnormalities, immune, vascular, metabolic-that this model does not account for, and the threshold/polyvagal hypothesis remains speculative. Second, polyvagal theory, while biologically framed, mirrors psychosomatic logic: it emphasizes safety, threat perception, and regulation as core drivers. Historically, frameworks like this have shifted focus away from pathology toward patient behaviour or adaptation, often harming the very communities they aim to support. We have had many orgs, advocates and clinicians try to bring polyvagal theory to Long Covid and ME - it has never ended well. It is a theory that is often promoted to people with chronic illness due to the lack of legitimatacy of these conditions. Somehow it's great at being applied and treating these illnesses but not touted to those with Parkinson's or Cancer. (1/2) (2/2) of Long COVID Advocacy's Response to Emily Mendenhall's Jan 20, 2026 post: "Thresholds is a Biological Theory that Incorporates Social and Ecological Realities" Source: https://emilymendenhall.substack.com/p/thresholds-is-a-biological-theory Third, just because a model is framed as integrative or biological does not make it correct. Hysteria, neurasthenia, and psychosomatic medicine were/are once framed as nervous system disorders - biological in language, but inaccurate and damaging. Finally, while anthropology rightly seeks wider social and psychological contexts, in ME and Long Covid the stakes are high. Adding "wider factors" and "entanglements" esp mixed with psyche+soma and mind+body as explanatory without clear evidence risks reproducing structural harms: influencing care, policy, and stigma. The key epistemic issue is premature closure: theory filling gaps in understanding before mechanisms are demonstrated. Lived experience and social suffering are critical, but they cannot substitute for validated biology when shaping models for care and research. In short, your framing may be anthropologically coherent, elegant and narratively and metaphorically beautiful and cogent but applying it to ME and Long Covid communities risks reproducing harms historically associated with BPS and psychosomatic interpretations. The issue around vague vagus theory has been dealt with in Dr Hausmann's response and the issues of Polyvagal and TMS theory have also been addressed in our article on safety and danger in Long Covid and ME which I will link below.

An attendance justice approach requires states/schools to address health access, accommodations, & flexibility before initiating ANY enforcement. Access first, always.

I'm excited about this because it's normative, not just critical. We can build a system that actually works for disabled students.

Continuing to build out attendance justice & grateful for collaborators.

Working definition: Attendance justice treats school attendance as an access issue rather than a compliance issue, recognizing absenteeism as a sign of unmet disability/health needs & barriers, not misconduct.

Thoughts?Ideas?
caseydoherty.bsky.social Casey Doherty @caseydoherty.bsky.social · 9d
For many disabled and chronically ill students, absence=discipline. Attendance justice asks: what would it look like to design attendance systems around real lives, not idealized ones?

I’m continuing to build work here & welcome conversation!
caseydoherty.bsky.social Casey Doherty @caseydoherty.bsky.social · 9d
Over time, my work has increasingly centered on what I call attendance justice.

Attendance and truancy policies are often treated as neutral, but they govern students through paperwork, surveillance, and punishment, especially along lines of disability, race, and socioeconomic status.
