Agreed. And I wonder whether it requires a radical reimagination of our relationship to the state and the limits of its authority, given its potential new position as an intermediary between individuals and corporate power.
John Tasioulas@JTasioulas
Political and legal philosophy has been concerned with taming state power to ensure that it works for the common good, but the urgent need to tame growing corporate power for the same reason has been neglected. A credible 'AI ethics' needs to be part of the latter enterprise.

Indisputable and objectively true.

Many people dream about (and promote) a future without work. I think this is a very bad idea for reasons some of which are to be found in this excellent (and relatively short) piece.

What is the value of work and can play take its place in human life in the post-work world that might be ushered in by AI? My paper 'Work and play in the shadow of AI' Link below

Grateful to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for the publication of the substantive revision of the entry “Arabic and Islamic Metaphysics” (Jun 30, 2025)

It was a true pleasure returning to this book, which shaped much of my thinking about my DPhil project in its inception — this time delivering a response drawing on the works of commentators on Ibn Arabi.
Andrew Davison@AP_Davison
What a pleasure for this afternoon's research seminar @OU_TheoReligion (generously held @CampionOxf) to have been an Islamic response by Mohammad Sami, in the Suffi philosophical tradition, to my book Participation in God.

@RamonIHarvey Could it not just mean that it was less developed, rather than juvenile?
English
Calling postclassical kalam: the “mature” tradition irks me; it makes it sound like the earlier scholars were just juveniles playing around.

@DrShoaibAM It was a true pleasure and certainly a main highlight of the trip! To many more fruitful discussions, inshallah!

One of the fantastic fruits of the conference in Cambridge was meeting Sidi/Dr Muhammad Sami (@muhsami_). A genuinely beautiful soul, and one who I am glad I got to spend some time with, msA.

I had a wonderful time speaking to Nile Green about ‘Abd al-Karim al-Jili, the Sufi metaphysics of Ibn ‘Arabi, and al-Jili’s Sufi reading of the Bible & Qur’an. The conversation, which is based on my @ibtauris book Sufism & the Scriptures, is here: open.spotify.com/episode/4R1X5j…

First paper on 'understanding' out!
Can understanding be transmitted like knowledge through testimony? I argue no—but show how a *perspectival* model of communication makes sense of it.
Bonus: an account of understanding as mental structure
