Short and sweet review of Bergson's Lectures on Freedom
@bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

"This compilation of Henri Bergson's 1904–05 lectures at the Collège de France exemplifies the dynamic nature of philosophy as an evolving discourse delivered in an oral format."

A talented student artist drew some of the authors we read this semester.

Name them from clockwise (no big points for 1 and 2):

Love this book. And now my daughter is using it for her Year 12 English project on White Lotus and Rousseau's Second Discourse.

Fun for the whole family! Thanks @laywilliams.bsky.social

I did a thing and got a thing.

Paperback day for Liberalism as a Way of Life, @princetonupress.bsky.social

I’ve been moved and amazed by the book’s reception—thank you to everyone who’s read, taught, or shared it.

If you’re so inclined, give it one more repost for the road.

Both Luara Ferracioli and I have been shortlisted for the AAP Media Prize — Luara for two excellent ABC radio pieces, and me for Rawls the Redeemer in Aeon.

Great to see public philosophy getting some love.

In case you missed it: my lead essay in the new print issue of @noemamag.com, "From Statecraft to Soulcraft."

After 70 years, states are back in the business of shaping the good life. Welcome to the post-liberal era.

In case you missed it, my review of @emilyherring.bsky.social's terrific bio of Henri Bergson is #1 at the Los Angeles Review of Books right now.

It’s my love letter to the GOAT of philosophy—take a seat and have a chat with him here 👇

My review of @emilyherring.bsky.social's bio of Bergson for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social ofbooks.bsky.social. Spoiler: it's superb:

"The most delightful book I’ve read about Bergson, written with clarity, joy, humor, and narrative drive."

I did an interview with Sam Kahn for The Republic of Letters.

Topics include: how I became a liberal, why you probably are too, what liberalism really is, and how to work Rawls into everyday conversation without sounding like a tool.

Thrilled to see my book out today in Spanish translation!

Huge thanks to @edicionesdeusto.bsky.social and @princetonupress.bsky.social.
