Inspired by John Dunn’s essay of the same name, I’ve written a review essay on three recent books, on ‘the future of liberalism’
1. Liberalism Against Itself @samuelmoyn
2. Liberalism as a Way of Life @alex_usyd
3. Regenerative Politics @EmmaPlaninc

I think about the Roman Empire at least once a term, and @wmarybeard has done much to inform my thinking since I attended her lectures as an undergraduate.
Hence my review of her magnificent new book, The Emperor of Rome.

My review of Wendy Brown’s latest book is now available! There I’ve tried to explain her response to nihilism with reference to the work of Sheldon Wolin and Tracy Strong.
Many thanks @PeterVerovsek!

I'm thrilled to say that I have a new article published!
Whilst my research focus has now shifted, I'm very glad that some of the work I did on the history of British idealist philosophy during my Cambridge MPhil is now available: go.shr.lc/3QtpnLy
My review essay on Raymond Geuss’s most recent books is now out: doi.org/10.3366/jspp.2023.00…
I discuss his views on ideology critique, the concept of work, liberalism, and worldviews. I’ve also attempted to defend his political philosophy against some of his critics!
Last week, I interviewed Quentin Skinner about the Cambridge 'blue books' series, if his contextualism implied that he was a political 'realist', whether one could historicise contemporaries, and if he would write an autobiography - it was truly riveting

The full transcript of my interview with Skinner is now available on my blog: ming-w.medium.com/interview-…

I wrote a short review of Raymond Geuss’s new book, Not Thinking like a Liberal.
‘it represents the first sustained autobiographical account of his intellectual development and political views.’

Very grateful to have received a hard copy of Raymond Geuss's new book from @HarvardUPLondon and to have it signed by him.
My current research @Politics_Oxford is focused on Raymond Geuss's political thought as part of a broader attempt to historicize political realism.
I was therefore delighted to speak to Geuss himself about his intellectual development for @OxfordPolRev - youtu.be/OTUVh1gP2ck
I'm delighted that my paper, 'Russell's Refutation of Idealism', adapted from my undergraduate dissertation, has won the 2021 Bertrand Russell Society Student Paper Prize!
I very much look forward to presenting it next month @BRussellSociety
I talked to @shrutikapila about her forthcoming book on violence and fraternity in the history of Indian political thought: varsity.co.uk/interviews/205…
