Delighted to be at King's College London next week on the kind invitation of the Right Rev'd Prof. Peter Selby. I'll be talking about "Jesus & the Desire to Die" -- chapter 4 (& the rest of) my @HurstPublishers & @OUPPhilosophy book, @IJudgeNoOne. Do join if you're in town --

Fascinating to see Plutarch cite “the execution of Socrates & Pythagoras” in a single breath (De Stoicorum Repugnantiis 32-36). We don’t talk enough about the killing of Pythagoras. — I do some of this in @IJudgeNoOne, since Mara bar Sarapion links Jesus, Socrates & Pythagoras.

New Oxford volume I'd very much like to see - esp. the chapter on Elise Reimarus, daughter of Hermann Samuel Reimarus (my bête noire in @IJudgeNoOne). More here - https://t.co/NKCixpreeQ

Delighted to be joining the Lachlan Macquarie Institute near Canberra, today & tomorrow, to discuss @IJudgeNoOne & books 8 & 19 of Augustine of Hippo's City of God against the Pagans (especially struck by the 'animated statues' of Egyptian lore, in light of AI).

A few from last week's Aletheia lecture on @IJudgeNoOne, cohosted by The Ramsay Centre & ACU in Sydney. Such a pleasure to meet scholars of Epictetus & Apuleius, Bacon & Traherne - & to hear from highly engaged students.

Hegel tells us that the secret of human history, in all its melancholy glory, is ‘Golgotha’.

Sade raves about Spinoza at the start of his 1,000-page dream of crime, Juliette. But is Sade really a 'Spinozist'? & if not, does the difference between their philosophies have something - or everything - to do with Jesus? Out now in @EngelsbergIdeas - https://t.co/AedLVY0yPo

[David Lloyd Dusenbury @DusenburyDavid]

Very pleased that the Budapest cultural magazine Országút has published a Hungarian translation of my new @EngelsbergIdeas essay on Spinoza's Jesus. Read "Spinoza Jézusa" here - https://t.co/ZgEoRHG2cL

Very pleased to be flying back into autumn on 1 April, to give talks at several Australian universities & institutes. (My first time in the country.) Do join if you can --

V. pleased to see a long review of my @HurstPublishers book in @JLRatEmory. "Dusenbury borrows from Kant the distinction between ethics & politics ... Jesus was constantly tempted to act politically, but he consistently chose to act ethically." Read here: https://t.co/CP28OpTZSj

The Marquis de Sade raves about Spinoza at the start of his 1,000-page dream of crime, Juliette. But is Sade really a 'Spinozist'? & if not, does the difference between their philosophies have something to do with Jesus? - Out soon in @EngelsbergIdeas: "Spinoza's Jesus".
