Thrilled that this book is finally out. @ValerianRo has been working on it for years to produce one of the most extensive works on Ambedkar’s political philosophy.

I take death all too seriosly. Some of India's foremost thinkers based their political projects on death. So when Indian political thought is declared dead it is only amusing if wilful ignorance. Glad the next gen of scholars sets the record straight https://t.co/diWDAEiZyz

Thread for those who asked for my syllabus on The Problem of Evil.

The course is designed to explore the concepts of evil, radical evil, and the banality of evil.

Why does evil exist?
Who does evil?
Does God allow evil to exist?

Here's the syllabus.

[Gerardo L. Munck @GerardoMunck]

What paths or sequences of democratization & state building are more likely to end in democracies with capable states? Is there only 1 viable path? What determines progress toward a high-capacity democracy?

This long🧵summarizes claims related to these question made in 6 books👇

[Arvind Narayanan @random_walker]

We've released annotated slides for a talk titled "Evaluating LLMs is a minefield". Current ways of evaluating chatbots/LLMs don't work well, especially for questions about societal impact. There are no quick fixes. More research is needed. w/ @sayashk 🧵https://t.co/6ZUh850wx3

🚨New Publication Alert📢
So happy to see this piece come out in @TCSjournalSAGE! I learned so much about Lyotard (& postmodernism) working on it with @JavierBurdman, which also helped me to see Habermas through a different lens. TCS has been on my bucket list forever as well!

[Leif Wenar @LeifWenar]

What would Rawls say about today's populism and the white working class? (And should we get past the Original Position?) My thoughts.

Here's my HKS Fall 2023 draft syllabus for DPI-413 Democratic Backsliding.

Its tough selecting so few readings, not least because so much terrific work is emerging and events continue to unfold. Recommendations for alternatives always remain welcome.

Congratulations to Paul Weithman and contributors on this volume, now in stock, which reflects on #Rawls’s classic work of #politicalphilosophy: its achievement, its importance, and its enduring legacy
