Mass editorial resignation at Philosophy & Public Affairs. "We take this step because we believe that scholarly journals—including our own—serve important purposes, and that these purposes are not well-served by commercial publishing." dailynous.com/2024/05/22/edi…

I’ve had a wonderful first day as Rishi Sunak’s election launch coordinator.

Ah Scheisse!

Ontic Structural Realism is the best response to (one of) Nagarjuna's argument against causation—or so I argue here. Just out in Asian Journal of Philosophy! rdcu.be/dKFgx

Thanks James Clark Ross Ⓥ and @MoorfootWill for organising such an eclectic mix of grounding enthusiasts. Was really enlightening.
