The US is now officially a rogue state—a scarily powerful one.
Is it just me or is academic work like constipation? You do all sorts of stuff just to get it out, but it won't. Then when you're deep into your distraction, it's suddenly there.

Missing the serenity of rural Japan. Still can't believe I got to walk through the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto last December. It was the same path Nishida Kitaro used to walk to Kyoto University.
So many revolutionary insights must've been born here!
It's the Feast of the Black Nazarene again. Even as a Filipino Catholic, I've only been fascinated by it from afar. Such religious devotion and fervor. Moving, to say the least.
"A bracing, philosophically rich argument for writing well as a personal journey and a social good." (Kirkus Reviews)
Philosophy of Writing (out now) suggests a major reconsideration of how and why we write.

“A research university that censors Plato abandons its obligation to truth, inquiry, and the public trust—and should not be regarded as a serious institution of higher learning. We are deeply saddened to witness the decline of one of Texas’s great universities” dailynous.com/2026/01/06/t... #PhilSky
More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

The US War on Venezuela is the most explicit marker that the US-led rules-based global order is now over: No effort to justify the attack. No apologies made to local and international institutions.
Mental health is shaped by more than just the mind.
Mental health is shaped by social and structural factors—yet too often, mental health policies fail to address them.
Been asking myself lately if rationality continues to be the fullness of the human being. As I read Kant, I think that it still is. As I live life, I come closer to those who question that assumption.
Self-reflexivity is perhaps the greatest single legacy of Kantian philosophy.
Read about Comparative Philosophy in an anthology on Japanese Philosophy. Didn't realize it's what I've been doing in the past couple of years. 😅
Happy New Year, BlueSky! Thank you for not just being a fad!
I recently heard a colleague say that they didn't believe that philosophy is worth pursuing for its own sake. I'm not sure if I agree.
For Ueda Shizuteru, to live while thinking and to think while living constitutes the radical origin of philosophy--an origin that against the increasing homogeneity of the world, he argues, must be revived today.
When it comes to brains, we assume that bigger is better; but could it be possible to have a consciousness without one? | https://bit.ly/4oVfcgr
Join scientists Michael Gazzaniga and Bridget Queenan as they investigate the mysterious case of the missing brain.

Might be a day late, but this just came up. The 'Classic' Steeleye line-up from the late 70s. Maddie's voice just gives me the chills, in a good way.
Also, the first UK Singles Chart hit fully in Latin.

In other words, it's not enough to articulate forms of indigenous thinking to count as philosophy; it needs to be brought in dialogue with traditional philosophical discussions.
Filipino philosophy has a lot to learn from the Kyoto School.
Talking about the Kyoto School, Ueda Shizuteru showed how early 20th century Japanese philosophers began transforming traditional insights into philosophical categories. He thought of Nishida's "pure experience" and Nishitani's "emptiness".
Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”
Got to present our paper on Community of Inquiry and AI this weekend at Ritsumeikan University-Suzaku Campus in Kyoto. Will definitely miss the reflective silence of rural Japan.
The first of the series on Filipino Pop Culture and Philosophy is coming out soon. You may pre-order your copies of TRESE and Philosophy here:

If you’re interested in practicing the philosophy of science in practice why not come along to an online workshop “the philosophy of science in practice - in practice”? #philsci
