Always getting those lists of Most Cited Philosophers or Works Featuring in the SEP Most Often or whatever and when you look there's never nothing by any women or POC. Well, finally, thanks to President Trump, a list of philosophical works has come out which heavily features women and black people!

Remembering the many Filipinos (most of whom came from the poorest areas; and some of whom were friends) who unjustly died through this thoughtless and destructive policy from a madman.
"Rodrigo Duterte, Philippine Ex-President, Is Arrested on I.C.C. Warrant. The International Criminal Court has been investigating the deadly crackdown that Mr. Duterte, who was detained in Manila on Tuesday, oversaw while in power."

Great weather today @ Cambridge (featuring King’s College and ducks). Chilly, yet sunny.

Here’s to hoping more days like this one.

A while back, I took a look at comment threads at philosophy blogs about "philosophers who write with style". The results were: 96.7% men, 98.3% white, and 98.4% "native"-speaker.

Guess who's that one exception to the whiteness and nativespeakerness.

Techno-authoritarianism is upon us. How to fight back?
With Trump's inauguration just a few days away, fears are mounting about his attacks on free press. What can we learn from the journalists who have already faced the wrath of tyrants?

Sorry to hear that Paul Benacerraf has died. I never got to meet him, but he managed to set much of the agenda of the philosophy of mathematics for decades with just a handful of papers.

the psychology of science is under exploded and my next book does discuss some of it, but I also think that before worrying about the psychology of science scientists should learn from History and Philosophy of Science, a rich field with a long tradition. #philsky #philsci doi.org/10.1038/s415...
