"The secret of happiness is: Find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it." Daniel Dennett (March 28, 1942 - April 19, 2024)
We’re delighted to announce that our second book – Philosophers on God: Talking about the Existence – is now available! Published by @BloomsburyBooks and available internationally; visit talkingaboutphilosophy.com
10 philosophy papers I liked in 2023, in no particular order (a thread with open access links). Be warned, philosophy will be understood deliberately broadly. 🧵👇
I absolutely loved being a part of this & can’t wait for everyone to hear it! 🎅🏼

Excited to see this online! If you fancy giving this a read, I would love to hear your thoughts on public philosophy & our article, so do share👇🏻☺️
What is public philosophy? In June 2022, @_jonhawkins and @PeterWest23 surveyed 'the public' on the nature and aims of both philosophy and public philosophy. Their report, published in our recent print issue, presents the survey results: bit.ly/46lIkUF
The point of philosophy is to be a catalyst to thought not an alternative to it
I'm excited to have received my copy of the latest edition of @philosopher1923 (guest-edited by @PeterWest23 & I)... It's always nice to see things in print. I'd love to hear which ideas most resonate with you (the public), so do tell! Available here: buff.ly/3QumdH7
