Parfit was surely right to think meta-ethical questions have major practical significance for our lives. To be honest, it amazes me that non-naturalist moral realists and anti-realists are able to coexist in the same discipline, like it didn't really matter. (1/3)

Enjoying some old graffiti in our department’s seminar room at Trinity.

Very much looking forward to chairing this tonight!

Do you think it is incoherent to say ‘some stories are better than the way they’ve been told’?

Nigel Warburton and I crossed swords yesterday on whether philosophy is primarily an armchair discipline (me: yes; Nigel: no) at the Public Philosophy event at Oxford Continuing Education for Oxford Literary Festival. Here's something I wrote on it... templeton.org/news/philosoph… Nigel Warburton 🇺🇦 #FreeUkraine

An amazing resource by two brilliant philosophers (and wonderful people!) which you’d be epistemically irrational not to use if teaching anything in political epistemology, like truth in politics, epistemology of political disagreement, voter ignorance, or distrust of experts!

An honour to chair, and speak at, Philosophy Today 2025: six public lectures, 200 tickets sold out, and a fantastically engaged audience who so kindly gave us their attention and time, coming with excellent questions every night. Do sign up to our newsletter for future events!

My first Trinity Monday celebrating the election of new Fellows and Scholars of the College. A massive congratulations to them all - especially to our new Philosophy Scholars that I had the pleasure of examining!

Thinking about the word 'professor': 'profess' can mean to express a quality or belief especially when it is not true or sincere, or to affirm one's faith in, belief, or allegiance to something. Sometimes, it can feel like language itself is making a joke.

Many congratulations to Enda for winning this award! I was very happy to nominate him for it after his doing a fantastic job TA-ing Topics in Philosophy II A for us - TA-ing on transformative experience and the philosophy of death. Congrats to all winners and nominees!
