Régen sokat foglalkoztam a forradalom politikafilozófiájával, beleértve a forradalom oldalán történő külföldi intervenció etikáját is, ami most Irán nyomán értelemszerűen aktuális lett, úgyhogy írtam erről. A lényeg az, hogy az intervenció egyes esetekben elvileg igazolt lehet, de most nem az.
Itt ezt eddig nem nagyon reklámoztam, de van nekem egy Substackem, ahol politikáról és filozófiáról írok. Itt van az idei első poszt, ahol az igazság és a politika viszonyáról írtam.
My paper "Ignoring the Unreasonable" was just published. In it, I argue that when it comes to supporters of illiberal or authoritarian politics ("the unreasonable" in Rawlsian parlance), we should not listen to them and try to understand their perspective or where they're coming from.
Itt még nem osztottam ezt meg, de van nekem egy ilyen Substackem, ahol politikafilozófiáról írok, például ezt egy közelgő előadásomról, ha valakit érdekel: politikafilozofia.substack.com/p/a-figyelem...

Disgusting
I'm flying to Vienna to talk at this really great event on collective attention and salience in society. I'll present some of my newer work on agenda setting and democratic theory, and I'm looking forward to all these talks, it's a very exciting progamme. sites.google.com/view/salienc...
Screencap of a post: Firstasatragedy • 170d •*• • SPOILER The Paradox of Gilmore Girls and the Sopranos Media In Season 6, episode 4 an episode of the Sopranos, an episode of Gilmore Girls is playing on TV. In Season 7, episode 17 of Gilmore Girls, Richard is wearing a tracksuit. Lorelai makes a joke about it by asking if he's having lunch with Tony Soprano. So obviously this means that both the Sopranos and Gilmore Girls exist as television shows in the other's respective universe. B ut more alarmingly, this means that each universe has now become a televised universe of itself within their own universes. When the Gilmore Girls watch the Sopranos, they will see themselves in the show. Likewise, when Tony Soprano watches Gilmore Girls, he will witness a direct reference to himself. It's like the effect of two mirrors facing each other: the universes of the Gilmore Girls and the Sopranos are infinitely replicated all the way down.
This is the kind of paradox I live for
I would also be really interested in reading this
I'm not fully sure about the empirical picture here, but as usual, @polphilpod.bsky.social's take has very much intelligence and insight, and I agree with a lot of it. I'm also very dissatisfied with the "abandoned working class" narrative.
My short piece on Shmuel Nili's book Philosophising the Indefensible, is now published in Analyse & Kritik. Although I was a bit critical, I think this book has really important things to say about engaging with illiberal/unreasonable politics and the responsibilities of political philosophers.
What Does Democracy Look Like? A new short piece I wrote for the OUP Blog....

Makes me think of Rousseau (B4Ch10-11 of the Social Contract) and Hobbes as well.
This new piece on democratic stability and backsliding by Ryan Pevnick sounds super interesting.

Hva betyr det egentlig for norsk politikk (og hvordan forholder seg denne utviklingen til den globale høyrebølge som vi kan se overalt)? Jeg er fortsatt nykommer her, jeg er ikke helt sikker på hvordan jeg skulle tenke om dette.
... This raises the question of who the great political leaders of the past century were. Under this theory most of the usual candidates (Churchill or whatever) probably wouldn't qualify. Who would, if anyone? And is this the right view? Is there such a thing as a great political leader? Maybe not.
...a great political leader is one who unites people in a way that fosters civic virtue rather than vice, whose charisma (or whatever) enables them to build community and solidarity with each other, and perform their civic duties, eg. of justice, better...
My Norwegian tutor asks the best political philosophy questions. Today we got into talking about what makes a great political leader. It's clearly not just popularity or skill in policy making. We settled on the idea that...
But that's already the case in human society. We are already deeply responsible for and dependent on one another. It is only under a hyper-individualist ideology that this fact becomes hidden from us. Or maybe not, I don't know. And yes, I do have a kid.
People talk about becoming a parent as a 'transformative experience' resetting one's whole outlook on the world. I wonder if that's a late capitalism thing. I guess what's supposed to be transformative is the feeling of deep responsibility for another person and their deep dependence on you. 1/2
I'm really tired today and didn't really feel like doing anything, so I joined Bluesky and practiced my Norwegian philosophy vocabulary. I learned the phrase "dogmatisk slummer"
Philosophy friends!
Do consider submitting something for the upcoming deadline for the British Society for Ethical Theory's 2025 conference.
We have Analysis Bursaries to assist with attendance costs.
Make your paper part of the super program!!

What works for me is youtube or any kind of video resource, it really helps to see what the cooking process is supposed to look like. I think Epicurious has nice beginner videos
I would be very interested in Norwegian cooking resources though.
Not super recent, but I like this one. I argue that the value of democracy lies in that it allows us to mutually serve each other by creating justice together. philpapers.org/rec/KAPMSA-2
