Coming up tomorrow on #HoPWaG: we speak to Wai-Wai Chiu about the debates between Mohists and Daoists on language and argumentation, focusing on the criticisms of Mohism found in the Zhuangzi. Who has the better of this dispute? Only one place to find out...

My son (11yo) likes to be given LEGO tasks. Yesterday, I told him to 'make me a philosopher in the style of The School of Athens for my office at the university.' I love how he even captured some Diogenes-like too-cool-for-school. And of course a couple of really excellent NPUs going on.

Here at the LMU in Munich, we have Sven Nyholm plus the related activities at the Center for Mathematical Philosophy, so we should be on the list I think!
