Last thing, if anyone has read this far. After leaving my academic position and rejoining Bluesky, I don't have as many followers as before. But I want to the philosophical community to know about the work of these contributors. Please share the book links? Thanks! #philsky #philosophysky

The Chinese philosophy book includes some lovely reflection on the relationship between reading, scholarship, and philosophy as a way of life (for instance, in the Daxue).

Reading philosophically involves its own set of skills, as does reading philosophy in different genres: verse, commentary, letters, etc.

The chapters focus on close readings, not high-level summary (increasingly cheap in the age of LLMs).

I find a lot of philosophy to be brain-breaking but this is on another level.

But what is the self? The self is a relation that relates itself to itself or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation; the self is not the relation but is the relation's relating itself to itself. A human being is a synthesis of the infinite and the fi-

On the universality of despair

From Kierkegaard’s The Sickness Unto Death

#booksky 💙📚 #philosophy #philsky #philosophysky
B The Universality of This Sickness (Despair) Just as a physician might say that there very likely is not one single living human being who is completely healthy, so anyone who really knows mankind might say that there is not one single living human being who does not despair a little, who does not secretly harbor an unrest, an inner strife, a dis-harmony, an anxiety about an unknown something or a something he does not even dare to try to know, an anxiety about some possibility in existence or an anxiety about him-self, so that, just as the physician speaks of going around with an illness in the body, he walks around with a sickness, carries around a sickness of the spirit that signals its presence at rare intervals in and through an anxiety he cannot explain.

New episode day! We've been asked what humans will invent in the future and we've decided that some technology for pregnancy would be a fine idea. It turns out loads of philosophers agree.

Preserve that child-like spark by continuing some feats from your childhood. Pick one, and let it be a hobby to reinstall in your mind the joys and triumphs you have experience in youth. It is these memories that are man’s North Star when lost among the seas.

The FitMA team is (still) looking for a PhD-candidate with good Latin, a philosophical background, and a healthy curiosity for medieval manuscripts and digital editions. Don't procrastinate to apply! We might be looking for you!

I once thought of philosophy as a kind of grand conceptual orchestration; an intellectual prophylactic that ensures sound practice and conduct. This seems to be the dominant view in the discipline today.
