Can persons be anchored in a minimalist naturalist ontology? My answer in this paper. researchgate.net/publication/37…

Best article on the methodology of substance dualism I've ever read. Most contemporary papers (including mine) are by comparison unbearably technical, nerdy, glib, enslaved to constant apology before the jury of naturalism. philpapers.org/go.pl?id=ROEAC…

Some impressions from the 6th International C.S. Lewis conference on Iași, Romania. Going home with a full load of (re-)enchantment, questions, doubts, fervor. This was more than an academic conference, but never less.

@jeffkoperski Just last night finished this one! Though I liked The Divine Conspiracy better. Found Renovation of the Heart a bit long-winded. Also sometimes I missed precision. Still makes very good points.

The only book I've asked an author to sign

Anyone experience with N. T. Wright? He's so hyped by many Christians but so far I find him quite shallow. (I know this is a beginner's level book but still).

@RalphStefanWeir As we know, scholarship is best done over a beer. 😁

Warsaw is completely full of trendy independent cafes that will also serve you a beer in the evening. If other cities don't catch up 10 years from now the overwhelming majority of the world's best scholarship will be coming out of Warsaw

Matters matters. Perhaps not in ways you thought so far. open.substack.com/pub/penseesen/…

@arlynculwick Great poem. It seems safe to say you don't like nominalism.

If you insist.. #failedmodernity

@jeffkoperski Had an encounter in this vein recently. One reviewer basically demanded I give a comprehensive history and overview of dualism and competing views as well as of agent causation in a <9000 words paper. My non-submission was answered with non-publication.

I'm surprised the euphemism treadmill in academia hasn't rolled over journal "submissions." Eventually someone is going to equate submissions with submissiveness, and that's the ball game.

@BRickabaugh Right now reading The Divine Conspiracy. Transformative.

One of the most beautiful people I’ve known. I don’t get to visit him in office hours anymore, but he’s still taking me to school!

@Rossinman Ha! Interesting. I've just started reading Willard. A truly transformative experience.

@ChristophAlin I JUST read this myself a few days back! Solid.

It is crucial for our walk in the kingdom to understand that the teachings of Jesus (...) do not themselves make a life. Rather, they presuppose a life. - Dallas Willard

So blessed to be have been part of the @HumanePhil conférence and summer school

@jeffkoperski Does this mean she is on fire about your prospect or smoking with anger about it?

Me: Wow, I was just invited to apply for a senior position at a well-known university! Wife: Where? Me: [redacted] Wife:

Did you know that?
