@mhwalschots Bro why you absolutely killing it lately?

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

@mhwalschots Bro these look great

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

@xgabegottliebx Yeah I think Hegel often misrepresents his contemporaries. Not to say he didn’t read them, but it often seems like he is remembering something someone said when he read them ten years ago and is too busy to check.

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

Say you haven’t read Fichte without saying you haven’t read Fichte.

[Gabe Gottlieb @xgabegottliebx]

This account of Fichte is so wrong, you'd think it came from the pen of Bertrand Russell, but no, it's from someone else.

But then in the drinks afterwards they assure you they liked the paper…..

Academics: "try the 'feedback sandwich' - a positive comment, followed by constructive feedback, followed by another positive comment."

German academic: "now that we've covered the serious problems with your work, let's move on to the truly severe."

[Neil Renic @NC_Renic]

Reviewer 2 has such a low opinion of my academic career prospects that I'm starting to suspect it's one of my parents

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

This seems like a pretty widespread phenomenon in the US. It is hard to believe this is anything but corruption at the highest level perpetuated by the myth that academics can’t or won’t do admin work under certain conditions

Footnotes to Plato and all that

[florence 🦐🏳️‍🌈 @morallawwithin]

This is really shameful to admit, but I’ve committed a fair amount of accidental plagiarism. I got pretty far in my work before realizing that I was basically just copying everything from the Forms I saw before my soul was embodied

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

Oh man exciting. Good thing Kant’s marginal notes were organised and his handwriting readable.

[Michael Walschots @mhwalschots]

Kant's personal library is being digitized! https://t.co/qETpnpKHTe

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

A great example of why sometimes seemingly obscure historical work matters in uncovering important ideas for understanding our history and so understanding ourselves.

[Aeon Magazine @aeonmag]

Written for laymen, read by women and kings, Christian Wolff’s mathematical method made him a key Enlightenment philosopher @mhwalschots https://t.co/bxmonbgzHn

[Matt McManus @MattPolProf]

...the workers?

@Guy_fletcher_ @BarryMa92479163 @CentreTMFutures @UoELawSchool Does American football count? Bc if so I have that covered #clevelandbrowns

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

Coming back on twitter to say that I am starting a Research Postdoctoral Fellow at @CentreTMFutures and @UoELawSchool in the Project Democracy, Rights and the Rule of Law in a Data-Driven Society. I guess now I have to do the cool twitter philosopher thing...

[Tomy Ames @tomyames]

A podcast aimed at the experiences of philosophy graduate students ran by two Oxford students with the first three guests being from Oxford, Cambridge, and Rutgers is very on point for our field.

[Mike Gregory @Mike_MakesWords]

@mhwalschots I don’t know if any that have open submissions for translations. It might be worth reaching out to some editors at AfGdP, JHP, HPQ to see if they would be interested.
