My paper 'Moral Testimony and Epistemic Privilege' is out now in Metaphilosophy and free to read. It genuinely started with a discussion about boiled eggs: doi.org/10.1111/meta.1…

I’m writing an MA course on philosophical writing and analysis, and want to present different types of philosophy paper and give them names. I’ve made a start below - hopefully their names are self-explanatory… but if you have more suggestions please list below 🙏😅

Just a wonderful man and such a fine and thoughtful philosopher. His courage over the last years has been extraordinary and a mark of his amazing humanity. He will be so missed by so many.
Angie Hobbs@drangiehobbs

Deeply sad to report that the wonderful human being and philosopher Professor Bob Stern died peacefully yesterday after a long illness which he faced with utter fortitude. Here he is in March at an event in his honour at Sheffield. We will miss him terribly. His legacy is immense

Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷
Does your given name begin with the same letter/sound as your family name? As with, say, Jack Jones? Does it annoy you that your parents did that? Or if you've taken your partner's/spouse's name and become alliterated, as it were, eg you were Mary Jones and now you're Mary Madely

@RRussellDavies @MichaelRosenYes Yes - everyone has always called me MM, except my Latin teacher who terrified me too much to correct her insistent ‘Mary’, and my father, whose ‘Mary Margaret’ at full throttle I loved….

@MichaelRosenYes for reasons I (7 at the time) did not understand. I insisted, and they said I could, provided I picked another name as well (camouflage?) so I picked the worthy anorexic Saint Juliana. I put all my names on all official school docs until my Catholicism waned definitively.

@trishgreenhalgh Do you still need to be invited to join BlueSky? I joined Mastodon, found it kindly but rather haphazard in coverage of important issues, so back on here. I deplore X ownership but share the desire not to be pushed out by it ( enjoy too the irony of standing here against it).

@wmarybeard Very sorry to hear this, Mary. You are always, in my experience, careful and respectful and thoughtful in discussion. I wish this did not also require courage, too, but you have plenty of that!

“Mary Beard is an old fossil who should either be in a home or a museum” “a clueless vile ghoul” etc … disagreement doesn’t have to be conducted like this folks, it really doesn’t!

This, from a Trump supporter, popped up on my feed. I’ve not shared the name because I’m old fashioned that way, but interestingly in his profile he states he’s a pediatrician.
