An excellent opportunity for an interesting philosophy postdoc. at Aarhus University. If I were a (much) younger man, I would apply to go work with Nicolai and his group.

Paul Feyerabend was born OTD in 1924.
Knowledge is not a body of consistent theories converging on truth. It is “an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible … alternatives, each single theory, each fairy tale, each myth … forcing the others into greater articulation.”

My son (11yo) likes to be given LEGO tasks. Yesterday, I told him to 'make me a philosopher in the style of The School of Athens for my office at the university.' I love how he even captured some Diogenes-like too-cool-for-school. And of course a couple of really excellent NPUs going on.

Martin Peterson's creative response to being banned from teaching Plato (shared with his permission).
Teaching environmental philosophy @aau.dk has become much more enjoyable since I started taking my own ideas about field philosophy seriously. Happy that my students also see the point of it - even with below freezing temp turning feet into popsicles.

I will finish my first article on Frederik Christian Eilschov (1725–1750) and his fabulously titled book: “Philosophical Letters – On Various Useful and Important Matters.” He argues against eating meat, while still supporting hunting as a form of just war.

Great talk yesterday on perspectival flexibility as a virtue by @pasliwa.bsky.social from @univie.ac.at. It was at the annual Hartnack Lecture at the philosophy section of @au.dk and I had brought along some of my students from @aau.dk who said the talk was "difficult but interesting". I agree 😊

A great opportunity to hear about carnivores from some of the smartest people around ... and me. We would love to see all those interested in carnivores at our upcoming conference: “Small and Medium Sized Carnivore Conference” taking place on April 8–9, 2026 - here at @aau.dk.
