The weblog continues to serve equally a simulating outlet for intellectual live for me. Each postal service is about a K words, as well as my aim is to prepare 1 thought or address 1 work inward the post. I've never tried for consistency or thematic coherence over time; the weblog is to a greater extent than of a enquiry notebook for me, allowing me to capture ideas as well as topics equally they come upward up. Since the commencement I've looked at it equally a form of "open source philosophy," allowing for the evolution of ideas as well as arguments inward a piecemeal way. At the same time, it serves equally a form of seismograph for me, letting me recollect the form of topics that accept come upward to the fore over time.

In the yesteryear yr at that spot accept been a release of posts on familiar topics -- critical realism, social mechanisms, as well as social inequality, for example. These are enduring topics inward my enquiry as well as writing. But a few novel topics accept arisen equally well. One is the interrogation of the dynamics as well as extent of hate-driven political movements, such equally the populist-nationalist extremism of the Trump displace as well as presidency (link).
