What lack of exposure to the humanities does to a motherfucker

One of the essential criteria: Drive Arthur Schopenhauer to despair over comparative lack of popularity and fame

Great piece on the now Dr. Miron Gilmore. His work and efforts have made history. ed.ac.uk/ppls/news/phil…

I believe 'phwoar' and 'corrrr' are apt responses to this announcement!

whatisitliketobeaphilosopher.com/#/robert-stern/ Have just received this in my inbox from Bob directly - a very witty and equally moving read. Just re-confirms for me what a privilege it was to be supervised by Bob and what a privilege it is to have him as a dear friend
