A political philosopher and expert on civic ethics looks at the big picture of the #Midterms, and says it's an exaggeration to call it an endorsement of Biden's agenda or rejection of Trump's agenda.
"U.S. democracy today is driven by partisan identity rather than policy. Elections thus are won not by changing the minds of undecided voters, but by mobilizing the party’s base."https://theconversation.com/midterm-election-results-reflect-the-hodgepodge-of-us-voters-not-the-endorsement-or-repudiation-of-a-candidates-or-partys-agenda-194010

The British philosopher Bernard Williams died just over twenty years ago, but his work continues to challenge and stimulate. His 1985 "Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy" is not only a major work within moral philosophy but also a book that can and should be read by anybody inclined to reflect on human values.

After reading Academic philosopher Rupert Read's film review on Avatar: The Way of Water, I look forward to seeing the movie.:
"there is much that is weak in the film, but let that not obscure something inside it that’s so strong. The real point is to make our stand; to try to attain the wisdom of whales, and the intelligence of indigeneity and of our own wisdom traditions. The Way of Water includes repeated teaching on breathing techniques and meditation, teachings that, as I watched, I found myself breathing along with. Is there any other mass-audience movie that has attempted anything like this?
"As our own planet continues to die, listen deeply for the word that is about to be spoken. Maybe you can help speak it."

The political philosophers of the early republic, the authors of the #Constitution, & the #law-school professors of the present day have all mostly assumed that federal judges will strive, in the words of Alexander #Hamilton, to “unite the requisite integrity with the requisite knowledge.”

‘[To Medieval philosophers and economic theorists t]he unpardonable sin is that of the speculator or the middleman, who snatches private gain by the exploitation of public necessities. The true descendant of the doctrines of Aquinas is the labor theory of value. The last of the Schoolmen was Karl Marx.’

An ex-philosopher friend remarked to me yesterday that academics judging prestige and success by citation metrics incentivizes the same thing in slow-motion as social media algorithms judging success of content creators by engagement metrics, and it has thrown me into an existential crisis.

Ashoka: Portrait of a Philosopher King by Patrick Olivelle, 2024
An illuminating biography reconstructing the life and legacy of a unique king in world history and the most famous emperor in South Asian history. There are few historical figures more integral to South Asian history than Emperor Ashoka, a third-century BCE king who ruled over a larger area of the Indian subcontinent than anyone else before British colonial rule.

👣🤔AUTUMN ALONG THE PHILOSOPHER'S PATH🍁🍂
Fall vibing🥰
The Path of Philosophy (哲学の道) runs between Nanzen-ji (南禅寺) and Ginkaku-ji (銀閣寺).
It came to prominence after the philosophers and Kyōto University professors Nishida Kitarō (西田幾多郎 1870-1945) and Tanabe Hajime (田辺元 1885-1962) used the trail as an exercise route.#永観堂 #Eikando #autumn #紅葉 #Kyoto #京都 #Japan #ThePhilosophersPath #哲学の道 #Tetsugakunomichi

Metaethicists and philosophers generally, did we ever come to an agreement about the most plausible reformulation of Moore's Open Question Argument in light of externalist metasemantics?
It's one of those arguments that everyone hates but still it gets cited as telling us *something* important. What is the important thing it tells us?
