@mrmorrisphil @unummagnumtotum Controversially, perhaps, John Updike.

Any prose you consider poetry, despite no meter? I'd say Plato, for one.

@ellieanderphd The difference between my Derrida stories and RKs is that mine are (mostly) true.

I rarely wish I’d been on Twitter back when I was in grad school, but the fact that so many of you are enjoying this story is making me wish I’d shared—or at least written down!—all the good stories I heard back when I was studying with Geoff Bennington that I’ve forgotten

Heard a great story about Derrida giving a lecture in Dublin from Richard Kearney last night. Derrida showed up to an audience of thousands of people with a giant stack of papers. “What is that?” Kearney asked. “It’s my talk!” Derrida said. Kearney took the stack from him…

@RyanHaecker Actually, this cat’s name was Lucrèce.

A daily reminder that Derrida named his cat Logos

@smithbarryc @ChrisMaslanka @BBCRadio4 Hobbes!

Very engaging programme. Strange verdict, tho, by Jonathan Reé claiming John Locke was the first great stylist writing philosophy in English. Surely, it was David Hume Word of Mouth - Philosophy in English - @bbcradio4 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@lonanglo @lea_ypi @LSEGovernment @LSEnews @LSE_poty “Frontier: The part of a country which fronts or faces another country “ (OED)

I know I promised not to write on politics until my Kant book was off but the rise and fall of Change UK was an irresistible topic... @LSEGovernment @LSEnews @LSE_poty
