We mourn the passing but celebrate the life and achievements of Saul Aaron Kripke (Nov. 13, 1940–Sep. 15, 2022). His family and friends ask for privacy at this time.

@cmalcolmkeating Yes! The one you recommended - I taught them the section specifically on the blind men metaphor (and feminist epistemology), and discussed perspectivism alongside the baby logic (validity, soundness) stuff. It's for introduction to philosophy!

This is what procrastination looks like :(

[Ng Sai Ying @ngsaiying]

@cmalcolmkeating My students loved the elephant and the blind men metaphor! But they're also pretty relativistic (ugh) so I hurried to emphasize on Vaidya's points against anti-knowledge, anti-absolutism, and anti-realism.

Lepus oryzinus: Why would "rice rabbit" become a buzzword in China? The answer is simple:  it's one of the ways that Chinese netizens try to get around the banning of #MeToo by government censors.  The CCP doesn't like #MeToo because it enables women to… https://t.co/p9hHuygITE

This article reminds me of my own confusion at the unorthodoxy of the Yale-NUS philosophy dept's pedagogy; I didn't always understand back then, but am starting to appreciate the importance of broadening (in many ways) the notion of philosophy! https://t.co/sMUGtlhid4

@cmalcolmkeating @BryanVanNorden I've actually heard this growing up! Whether my father picked it up randomly or heard it growing up is another question... the one so-called Chinese proverb that confuses me, though, is "May you live in interesting times" (what does it even translate into?)

Beyond honored to find the very heart of my book perfectly crystallized in t/@NewYorker in this characteristically astute & thoughtful piece by @paulbloomatyale. Deeply thankful to have these ideas that matter so much to me out there for public discussion. https://t.co/X3xgn9vqz9

Rich philosophical traditions of China, India, Africa, Indigenous peoples are ignored by ‘Western’ departments. Why? https://t.co/D0f2m8GFue
