Congratulations again to Emily Herring! And to the English language for its first biography of Henri Bergson.

Saddened to hear of Alan Montefiore’s death—he was my supervisor’s supervisor, a generous spirit who fostered dialogue between cultures and generations.

Just in case anyone tries to tell you philosophy isn’t useful…

The CFA for next year’s UK Sartre Society conference Maison Française d'Oxford is now out. With keynotes by Betty Cannon (on Sartre) and me (on Beauvoir).
