New paper out!! I argue against the view that conversational silence standardly indicates agreement (even absent certain defeating conditions). This paper emerged from a chapter of my PhD, so it's nice to finally see it out in the world :) doi.org/10.1111/theo.1…

Thanks so much to Kathleen Lennon, Darren Gillies, and the UK Sartre Society for terrific, thought-provoking comments on Sartre’s Existential Psychoanalysis yesterday! Looking forward to Day 2 of #UKSS2024

In another final session of #SEP2024 our former (BA and MA) student Jamie Davies is giving a talk entitled 'On The Pain of Returning Home'.

One final session of #SEP2024 is a symposium on Henry Somers-Hall's book Judgement and Sense in Modern French Philosophy, with talks by Nathan Widder, Cillian Ó Fathaigh, and Wahida Khandker, and a reply by the author.

Superb #SEP2024 session on Simone de Beauvoir with Anna Cornelia Ploug (Copenhagen) on concrete contradictions in The Second Sex and Katja Čičigoj (Klagenfurt) on gendered forms of subjectivation structuring lived experience.

The final day of #SEP2024 opened with a riveting keynote address from Irene McMullin! I’m still thinking about how humour and motherhood can provide privileged perspectives on others on Murdoch’s account, and what kind of social ontology this entails…

I’ve been looking forward to this! Correspondence with five “ordinary” women about adolescence, lesbianism, contraception, coupledom, domestic violence, anti-colonialism, racism, and more.

#SEP2024 Day 3 begins with our third keynote address –– Murdoch and the Idea of Perfection –– Professor Irene McMullin (Essex)

Specifically, direct social perceptions - i.e. perceptions of other people’s mental states

Nicolai Knudsen’s excellent talk responds to the trilemma facing traditional phenomenological accounts of perceptions with a novel Rylean account of empathy #SEP2024
