@Left_Hegelian I actually end the book with some Peircean worries but you will have to buy the book to find out what I think of them.

@Left_Hegelian "The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy.". Great essay

@Left_Hegelian "... nonetheless truth and error, health and disease, good and evil, hope and fear in the concrete, would remain just what and where they are now."

[Mark Alznauer @MarkAlznauer]

@Gattungswesen25 Stern has to downplay this passage, which seems to undermine his reading of Hegel: "When good and evil are placed before me I have a choice between the two; I can decide between them and endow my subjective character with either...

Proud to report that there is now a Public Thinking minor at @UChicago. A milestone for the program and something we hope will inspire more creative thinking at universities about the relationship between humanistic education and public discourse

@dieworkwear @trufelman If you do not read Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus" for this podcast that will be the biggest missed opportunity in the history of podcasting.

@xgabegottliebx This seems like an overblown criticism of five sessions during orientation week. They teach many/most of these other figures in their courses.

"But the so-far unchecked spread of LLMs and associated technologies...does not represent a new way of contesting the role or distribution of merit; it represents a threat to the concept’s intelligibility."

I had a wide-ranging conversation about Hegel with PJ Wehry at Chasing Leviathan, which included a moment when I found out the publication date of my new book (December 2026) https://t.co/sVYdRD0ZbT
