Saddened to hear of the death of Stephen Gaukroger. He worked at @Philosophy_Abdn for some years and built up History of Philosophy here. He was instrumental in my joining the dept and someone whose work and advice I really valued.

Stephen Gaukroger (1950–2023)
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of Stephen Gaukroger. Stephen was an active member of the ISIH since its early years. Our thoughts are with Stephen’s family: his wife Helen, and his children Cressida and Hugh.

It's actually a conversation with Chris Meyns and @philosopher1923. It was fun to do this!

The first concert I ever went to, aged 14, was the Pet Shop Boys. I still have the T-shirt. Here I am, 33 years later, going to see them a second time. If only my dad were here to chaperone again!

Hey @savebutterflies - we saw two Narrow bordered bee hawk-moths on the Balmoral estate today in the Cairngorms! Excited to let you know.

And now we have moved on to the Aristotelian virtues with the BRACELETS OF SINCERITY AND WISDOM and the ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

At some point on this special day we are going to see the SWORD OF TEMPORAL JUSTICE alongside the SWORD OF SPIRITUAL JUSTICE. A Neoplatonic dream come true!

Nick Cave gets it exactly right on the coronation. Curiosity beats ideology any day of the week.
