Hey, ancient phi grad students, you know you want to apply
Final print completed. Publication in July!
If you’re in the “Boston Area” (i.e. New Hampshire) next Thursday, you can come see me give a talk at the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy
When I started doing philosophy, I never thought I'd discuss the theft of semen by succubi. But here we are.

I’m about to send this li’l guy back to the press. Hopefully it will now satisfy the demands of the dreaded reviewer #2 🤞
We should have publicly posted wergild rankings
We’re leaning toward the color scheme of the green cover with the font and text formatting of the white one.
Should we go with the white cover or the green?
It's chapter two of this fine volume. I can send you a pdf if you can't get access.

I'm currently writing an essay on Wilfird Sellars' interpretation of Aristotle. Given the below paper, I think I've cornered the market on "Pittsburgh Philosophy Heroes Views on Aristotle" papers.
I know. I’ve got a lot of heavy lifting to do to make this even remotely plausible.
The answer will surprise you
Often the general acknowledgements are just a list of places where you’ve given a talk and a handful of names of friends (the fancier the better). I like being thanked. But I’ve never gotten anything as a reader from this kind of footnote.
So I just reviewed some article proofs and the journal has a policy that they don’t include an acknowledgement footnote. First time I’ve encountered this. Not sure, but I don’t think it’s a terrible policy.
If you think this is too much, remember that you likely aren’t one of the 15 people who enthusiastically signed up for this course with full knowledge of what I’d be assigning.
This + Augustine’s Confessions = the reading for Tulsa’s honors course “The Long Middle Ages” that I’m teaching this semester.
Nice try CTV but we all know that fire targets the periphery of the sublunar realm, not places of worship
Why yes. We were invited to a cowboy Christmas party
I'd like it more if they required the spelled out latin. You never see a good old videre licet anymore
Have you ever encountered this on a journal's style sheet before?
The books won, of course
It's not the best joke ever written. But it's good enough.
Who says the humanities have no value.😎
