- In October 2023, @bboudou.bsky.social offered me to co-edit a handbook on political theory with him. The publisher wanted it published by September 2025. I thought it was a joke. Benjamin did not. Today, we are very happy to announce the publication of Théorie Politique!
- Happy publication day @aureliabardon.bsky.social! ➡️ www.larcier-intersentia.com/fr/theorie-p...

- Fun fictional conversation @dailynous.com about what PhD programs are for. Most specifically about philosophy PhD programs but I suspect a lot of it applies to other fields as well.

- Teaching political philosophy is just explaining again and again that Mill, Mills, and Miller, are different people.

- Best advice ever for PhD students: "It's not your life's work. Every initial thesis proposal is too big and ambitious. Remember: you are not Marx, and this is not Kapital. If it is any good, you will get a job and write other books."

- French government uses paragraph 49.3 to pass a law without a vote for the 19th time since May 2022. Nobody cares anymore, and it’s barely reported in the media. Crazy how much Macron has damaged French democracy. www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...

- Macron is inaugurating a museum of French language, and the minister of culture has declared that French "is the language of irony and impertinence." This obsession with the French language is so weird. Does this exist anywhere else? www.lemonde.fr/culture/arti...
