@joshplatzkymiller.bsky.socialThank you @leamundi.bsky.social and @joshplatzkymiller.bsky.social for a stunning keynote: ‘The Idea of “Western Philosophy”: A Critique’. (Don't tell anyone, but it was my favourite of the three.)
Show PostInterested in talks by Rowan Willians, Judith Butler, Lea Cantor and Josh Platzky Miller? Anyone can register to see our keynotes in Manchester @manmetuni.bsky.social
Show PostJosh Platzky Miller (@joshplatzkymiller.bsky.social) and I are very excited to be speaking alongside Judith Butler and Rowan Williams at the 2026 Society for European Philosophy conference (@sephilo.bsky.social)! We'll be speaking about our work critiquing the idea of 'Western Philosophy'. #philsky
Show PostJust read this and found it extremely compelling. It made me celebrate the department where I studied in the 90s, which incorporated major strands of Indian and Chinese thought into its undergrad course (although underfunding has since killed that) but also aware of that approach's limitations.
Show PostThe final talk in this showcase is 'The illegitimacy of 'Western Philosophy' and the Contribution of Ben Kies' by Josh Platzky Miller.
