- Reposted by Jes Lynning HarfeldPaul 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.” 🧪🦋🦫 #PhilSci #STS

- New Year’s Resolution 🎆 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. #animalphilosophy
- 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. #philosophy

- 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 😊
- Reposted by Jes Lynning HarfeldMy paper ‘Animal Rights, Moral Motivation, and the Experience of Wonder’ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... has just been published at @the-joap.bsky.social In it, I argue for fostering a sense of wonder at individual nonhuman animals, & for making this the basis of a reverence-based respect.
- Reposted by Jes Lynning HarfeldThe GOAT @goatswhostare.bsky.social sharing some inspiring and fascinating insights on how to more cleverly understand the clever inner lives of livestock in opening this morning’s @applied-ethology.bsky.social #ISAE2025 session
- I've been interviewed about public philosophy by Mara-Daria Cojocaru for the 'Philosophy Going Wild!'-project open.substack.com/pub/thedryno...
- Always fun to be a bit out of my depth academically. This time talking about hunting in the nexus between philosophy and Danish literature at 'Nordspråk' summer course in front of Nordic language teachers. Tak til @lottepraetorius.bsky.social for invitation og foto. nordspraak.com/2024/12/19/s...
- I samarbejde med Folkeuniversitetet i Aalborg afholder jeg 2x #Filosofaen her i efteråret. Det er godt, skønt og fyldt med mulige sandheder at være med til filosofiske samtaler. Så kig forbi Café Ordgeist til oktober. www.linkedin.com/posts/folkeu...

- Sabrina Brando and I wrote an article 10 y ago about the lack of animal welfare friendly food in zoos. Recently, I was at Aalborg Zoo and was a bit disheartened by the lack of progress there. So, I wrote an opinion piece for the local paper (sorry, in Danish). www.researchgate.net/publication/...

- Pop by Aarhus University on Saturday the 14th of June for our seminar on human-animal studies. Hear examples of what it (might) be, and where it (might) be heading :-) #animalphilosophy #andmuchmore www.linkedin.com/events/human...
- Congrats to Thomas Kainberger - and thanks for letting me collaborate on this little project. Great working on moral epistemology in animal philosophy again and learning from the young-and-upcoming :-) (in collaboration w. Herwig Grimm) #animalethics #murdoch #shame link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- Every year the same duck uses our little pond area in the atrium at @aau.dk as a nesting ground. And every year she's stuck there with her little bunch of ducklings. The kind people from AAU Facility Service must then gently guide them through the building and out on the other side. #mixedcommunity
- Great department and great people. 5* Would recommand :-) anivet.au.dk/om-institutt...

- There are few greater joys in teaching than old students returning and presenting their research to our current students here at Applied Philosophy, Aalborg University @aau.dk. Thanks to Mads Hansen, postdoc. at @bristoluni.bsky.social, for introducing us to the contemporary debate on teleology.
- På mandag gæster filosof og kropsligt væsen, Jacob Aremark, Filosofaen til en samtale om filosofiens forhold til kroppen og kroppens forhold til filosofien. Det er noget med en hammer - men uden Nietzsche. Og der er tapas og vin. Vi ses! #kropsfilosofi #anvendtfilosofi fuaalborg.dk/aalborg/prog...
