This is the place to start if you're interested in the beginnings of Protestant natural law theory, the political thought of the Protestant reformation, or Philipp Melanchthon buff.ly/3950nkQ

@SrenKVillemoes Den lyder lidt søgt, den sammenligning. Men så fik du luftet Nazi kortet.

Det er altså svært at holde nazi-sammenligningerne tilbage, når ICE-chef Greg Bovino bogstaveligt talt render rundt med skrårem og Ernst Röhm-frisure.

Exciting news from Cambridge, where a donation has funded a permanent lectureship (“Assistant Professorship”) in the History of Knowledge Pre-1400. The only explicit restriction is “not medicine”, but it is in the Dept of History and Philosophy of Science. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/53305/

@tomaashby @jsps_sns Amazing, congratulations!

I am very grateful to have been awarded a KAKENHI grant (2.1 million ¥) for my project @jsps_sns – I plan to use this funding for my research & to facilitate a landmark international conference on "global intellectual history" – let us make it more meaningful, robust, & *global*

@matthenryyoung Looks more like antiquity and renaissance to me. Where are the great medieval scholastic political thinkers, like Peter Lombard, John of Salisbury, Aquinas, Ockham, Wycliffe, Giles of Rome, to name a few?

@mikaelmilhoj @FootballOrNot @jonasholmdk Tilbageholdende med at opgradere hvad?

@FootballOrNot @jonasholmdk Ja men Tyskland er jo ret tilbageholden med at opgradere på deres side af bæltet....

Fra maj næste år kan man tage toget direkte til Berlin (7 timer) og Prag (11 timer) med to daglige afgange + nattog i de tre sommermåneder 👍🏻 dsb.dk/om-dsb/presse/…

Very interesting article on Calvin's criticism of humanist ideas of counsel! Calvin seems to share with Melanchthon the importance of institutions and law in curbing rulers' passions. I wonder if C had read M's politics commentary with a similar role for ephors (and parlement)?

@DLNoorlander Is "good writing" a marking criterium or a learning objective? If not, then not much if at all, but give feedback and help improve future writing. If yes, balance it against other criteria/ILOs.

I'd be curious to hear from teachers ... If everything else in a paper is good (argument, research, citations, etc.) how much should poor writing affect a paper grade in a History class? By "poor writing" I mean misspellings, clunky/awkward expressions, run-on sentences, etc.

@Jeb_R Thanks!

@skov_chr @RasmusJarlov Hjælp mig, der gerne vil have dem med i radioen - hvem er de fremtrædende grønlandshistorikere i Danmark?

Folketingets suverænt største hadprædikant brygger igen de værste historier, hun kan komme på, for at få grønlænderne til at hade Danmark så meget som overhovedet muligt. politiken.dk/debat/art10211…

@MagnusBarsoe Tåbeligt. Folk tager jo også til/via lufthavnen af andre årsager. F.eks. til Dragør eller Sverige, for arbejde eller natur.

Ja tak! Et lufthavnstillæg på f.eks. 50 kroner på metroen det sidste stykke ud til lufthavnen og brug provenuet 1:1 til mere metro til københavnerne 😀👏 Medarbejdere i lufthavnen skal naturligvis slippe. politiken.dk/danmark/politi…

@ehutchinson1513 The Ært?

I have them all!

@evanodonphil That's all? I'm shocked!

Now you might be wondering: what's the evidence for this? Well, it's a single word of a single line in a short, hostile review of one of Aenesidemus' books by Photius I, Patriarch of Constantinople, written about 900 years after Aenesidemus' death.

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 "Aenesidemus Was Not an Academic" is forthcoming in Ancient Philosophy! Hooray! In it, I argue that Aenesidemus... was not an academic! Link at bottom of thread

Thrilling news! John Locke's journals have been digitised by the The Bodleian & The Clarendon Board. You can now read Locke's hand on yellowing paper on everything, from buying kid gloves to Alice George, who was 108 & only suffered rarely from the vapours digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/search/?q=%22M…

@Andreas_Vinther @magnusz Helt klart helt forkert.

@Andreas_Vinther @magnusz Det må være "min". Der er ikke intetkøn på engelsk.

@mvinaes Jeg ville meget gerne bo et sted, hvor lejen ikke gik til en investeringsfond. Men det er ikke så let at finde.

Hvordan tjener de mon penge på de investeringer? Kommer de ud af den blå luft?
