Had a very pleasant experience at @rpolucknow. Despite the huge volume of applications they process, the staff (especially the senior administration) were courteous to all who came in. A rare sight of professionalism combined with empathy. @sjaishankaroffc

@KevinZollman Timmons and Horgan claim their Moral Twin earth argument is Open question argument revisited. If we see it as more than a semantic claim (which Moore apparently does in the preface to the 2nd edition of Principia Ethica) may be it’ll make more sense.

@philosauruss Whichever way you might try to carve up the distinction, it’s violations are too many for it to hold. There’s personal ethics, constitutional morality..it’s too muddled to make any sense. Most textbooks no longer make the distinction now I guess

Analytic philosophers: Precise, technical language is extremely important!!!

Also analytic philosophers: This account of causation lacks oomph and your metaphysics are too spooky

@SomeStingray @Anupam_Guha Not sure, if I would call it woke. The heydays of Non-cognitivism are long gone. Intuitionism is hot these days, though.

@Anupam_Guha could you please add me to the Kosambi reading circle? I am a PhD student in HSS dept at IITB. Thanks

I just graduated from my 4 week Ancient Philosophy course with the University of Pennsylvania (@Penn). I know... my hobbies are very impractical, but it took a lot of hours after the kids were asleep. Thank you Plato and predecessors for all the "fun" over the past month!

@elisa_freschi If you are ok with Indian movies, there's Ankhon Dekhi (literally meaning that which is seen) where an elderly man decides to start believing only in that which he can personally verify. There's an english dubbed version on https://t.co/zi7TSNP4xs

[Sushruth @partphilosopher]

@KevinZollman Work by Mercier and Sperber comes to mind. They have quite a few articles where they cite experimental evidence to argue that reason is essentially a social activity and thus woks optimally in a social deliberative setting. Thanks for sharing the syllabus. Looks great!

If you're a man upset at being lumped in with rapists, attackers and general arseholes just because of your gender, maybe take it up with the men who give us a bad name instead of women who have to be on guard 24/7 because of them.

When did it become okay to be more offended by what someone with no power says than by what someone with power does?
