An interesting read from my husband 👀 ❤️

I’m thinking of instituting a personal policy of never assigning peer-reviewed publications to my students. Some reasons:

A Dutch way of saying “we’re on it” or “we’ll take care of that for you” is we zullen dat varkentje wel even wassen. It means “we will certainly get that piglet washed” * read on for more porcine phrases from around the world (a big pig thread)...

Delighted to be publishing this wonderful book by A X Douglas - Against Identity - next May, it's a corker and will show you why escaping the self is where wisdom lies

You're telling me a penguin actually wrote all these classics??

Little reminder that my book is coming out 19 June! penguin.co.uk/books/456203/a…

New article out from A X Douglas ! Open access 👀 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

PROUD AS HECK ✨ ✨

In Against Identity, philosopher A X Douglas explains why the search for identity (exacerbated by modern life) is ultimately meaningless, and how we should discover the freedom to escape the self.

Politicians and business leaders garble René Girard’s message. Popes are much closer to grasping his philosophy, writes A X Douglas 👇 buff.ly/AbloseR

Magaworld intellectuals adore René Girard. Given the philosopher’s focus on scapegoating, that’s grimly ironic. Read A X Douglas on dog-eating migrants 👇 buff.ly/AbloseR

It’s out today!!

Also here is a short video of me talking about it, beautifully edited by my wonderful wife Lauren Douglas youtube.com/watch?v=oMDOuL…
