Today is the 145th deathday of Rufus the guinea pig, one of Anna Kingsford's animal companions. In my thesis, I argue that her grief over his death contributed to her growing turn towards an esoteric mysticism and her belief in the immortality of animal souls.

I was honoured to present a paper this morning at the British Society for the History of Philosophy conference at Cambridge. The theme — Animals and the Environment in the History of Philosophy — is generating rich and timely discussions. Grateful to be taking part.

Good find this morning in Bakewell at Hawkridge Books. It's funny, the owner said, sometimes you have books for years and sometimes you only have them for a week. He had only had this one for a week. I told him I was writing about Carpenter in my PhD. Best of luck, he said.
