Substack, the online publishing platform, appears to be increasing in popularity among philosophers as a place to blog and share ideas via newsletter. Yet it can be difficult to find philosophers’ Substacks if you’re not already aware of them, or if they are not especially popular. So I thought it would be useful to create a space to list them. To keep things manageable, let’s limit this post to Substacks by philosophy professors or those with at least some graduate training in philosophy. Here’s a list of Substacks by philosophers I’m aware of: Hinternet by Justin E. H. Smith Mostly Aesthetics by Brad Skow The Philosophical Economist by Erik Angner Good Thoughts by Richard Y. Chappell It’s Her Factory by Robin James Fake Noûs by Michael Huemer Under the Net by Kieran Setiya Infinitely More by Joel David Hamkins Running Ideas by Nicholas Delon Philosophy for the People by Ben Burgis Uncommon Wisdom by Jimmy Alfonso Licon The Splintered Mind by Eric Schwitzgebel Please share others in the comments. Thanks! P.S. Substack is where the service New Work in Philosophy is published.

The one-year Treasury rate and the five-year, five-year forward rate on Treasuries told different stories in 2022, depending on whether one looked at nominal rates or real rates.
Philosopher Nathan Ballantyne (Arizona State University) and psychologist Norbert Schwarz (University of Southern California) have won a $3.4 million grant for their project, “Humility in Inquiry”. “The project focuses on humility in inquiry—the practices and processes that encourage humble, open-minded thinking,” says Professor Ballantyne. “The project’s aim is to support intensive collaborations between philosophers and scientists, and ultimately to establish a new paradigm of interdisciplinary research.” The grant supporting the research was awarded by the John Templeton Foundation. Professors Ballantyne and Schwarz will in turn be distributing subawards totaling $1.3 million. These will support research by multidisciplinary teams with members drawn from philosophy, psychological science, and related fields to address one or more of the themes of “Applying Epistemic Ideals, Science and Organizations, and Mindsets and Metacognitive Perspectives”.
Happy 2023, Drupal community! We have many exciting things in the works for the new year. We’re kicking off 2023 by developing an Open Web Manifesto, and we need your input. We are currently working to build our 3-year strategic plan, starting with this manifesto – and the Drupal community’s input is vital.
The Drupal Association believes that Drupal is a digital public good and a leader in Open Web principles. An open web is:
- an engine of economic empowerment
- a promoter of free expression
- a space for digital inclusion
We want your thoughts on what the “open web” means and how you think Drupal should promote these ideas in the future.

Woodburning stoves are a beguiling but disastrous mistake. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 27th December 2022 It’s shame that has stopped me writing about it before. The shame of failing to think for myself and see the bigger picture, which is more or less my job description. Instead, I followed the crowd. In […]
Kristina Bluwstein, Sudipto Karmakar and David Aikman Introduction Inflation reached almost 9% in July 2022, its highest reading since the early 1990s. A large proportion of the working age population will never have experienced such price increases, or the prospect of higher interest rates to bring inflation back under control. In recent years, many commentators … Continue reading What does the rise in the inflation mean for financial stability?

On 27 September 2022, Open Rights Group (ORG) held a roundtable with civil society – from women’s rights advocacy groups to organisations representing over-surveilled communities – to discuss some of the most concerning aspects of the Online Safety Bill, currently at the report stage in the House of Commons.

This is the clear result of the enormous increase in property prices – driven largely by the banks’ desire for profit. A mortgage that was limited to about three times annual income in the 1990s is now frequently and remarkably seven times annual income. No wonder one in forty mortgagees are in arrears – a...

I guess: With policy rate at 5%; they sell a 1 year 10 face value with a coupon of 95 then people would pay 100 and get redeemed for 10... they would make the 5%... iow they would pay 100, get coupon for 95 then get back 10 at redemption in 1 year... pay 100 and get back 105 within a year...

This one hurts. The music world has lost one of its greatest vocalists. That is not a typo. Jeff Beck could make a guitar speak, in every sense of the word. He rarely stepped up to the mic during the course of his 60+ year career, but whenever he set his fingers to a fret board, he told you a story; sometimes joyous and life-affirming, sometimes sad and melancholy…but it never meandered into masturbatory self-indulgence. Every note held import, serving a distinct narrative that had a beginning, a middle, and an end. Like all great artists, he was loathe to dawdle too long in a comfort zone; he never stopped exploring, pushing the boundaries of his instrument ever-further with each performance (whether on stage or in the studio). While he was generally relegated to the “rock” section, he could slide effortlessly from blues, boogie, and metal to funk, R & B, soul, jazz and fusion (more often than not, all within the same number).
