Now that I'm well into the book, I've amassed a good chunk of things to read/read recommendations, so I'm tempted to restart a book club on public philosophy. Any takers? IRL London only sorry, prefer a break from screens these days!
I am four chapters into writing a book about what public philosophy tells us about the space of reflection in our lives today. So I thought I'd start to share ideas that are emerging or yet to make their way into the book. Here's my first such blog: thepubliclifeofthemind.co.uk…

Just did an absolutely fascinating interview with @ApeironExped for @tplotm, cannot wait to put it up. Continue to be astounded by how much fascinating public philosophy there is out there and how much there is to learn from the people doing it.
