Here is a paper arguing that picky eating is a moral failing (absent medical or trauma based reasons) because it reflects a failure to fulfill one’s duty to cultivate one’s aesthetic capacities and participate in shared cultural food practices.

One of my favorite meta-ethics papers. It claims that scientific theories are immune to moral refutation (a theory entailing something morally repugnant doesn’t count as evidence against it). Moral anti-realists can explain this immunity whereas moral realists face a challenge.

#WeekendReading This fascinating book on the functioning of the brain as a “prediction machine” fundamentally making (right or wrong) predictions about our environment. In essence, perception is the difference between our sensory signals and the ones the brain expected to

Here is a paper arguing for animism (the existence of things like river and mountain spirits). The author bases the argument on isolated communities all believing in causally efficacious nature spirits being prima facie evidence that nature spirits probably exist.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀? Interesting paper tackling this difficult question. Answer (in part): it's complicated! https://t.co/oJMfHLip3v

Interesting paper arguing that nearly every proposition could in principle be known a priori. If the author is right, the distinction between empiricism and rationalism blurs, requiring us to reframe the debate.

Congratulations to Clark Wolf on his new book, now available, which argues that the key to #Hegel’s transformation of philosophy lies in his recognition of the special logical basis of the humanly made world

Congratulations to Peter Carruthers, whose book Explaining our Actions: A Critique of Common-Sense Theorizing, described as ‘An essential read for anyone wanting a sense of philosophy of psychology, where it’s been, and where it’s headed’, is a 2026 Prose Award finalist

Here is a paper I really enjoy that directly engages Hume’s is-ought problem and argues that moral claims can be inferred from purely descriptive (non-moral) claims.

New paper at AJPS: "The limits of AI for authoritarian control." The more repression there is, the less information exists in AI's training data, and the worse the AI performs. Ironically, data from democracies can help improve repressive AI.
