Very pleased that my paper „Praktischer Hylemorphismus: Ansätze zu einer Theorie praktischen Wissens im Anschluss an McDowell“ (Practical Hylomorphism: Towards a McDowellian account of practical knowledge) is now out in a volume edited by J. Kertscher & P. Richter
Teaching resumed this week in Halle for the winter term. This term, I am again teaching two courses, one on "Epistemic Injustice", the other on "Philosophy of Disability". The students already seem very engaged, so I am looking forward to an intense and enjoyable semester!
