Our issue on Public Political Philosophy is out in the world! tinyurl.com/PublicPolPhilo
We asked about the gap between political philosophy and everyday politics: why it’s there, how to close it, whether we ought to. The answers were engaging, rigorous, exciting, often surprising. Do take a look!

Yay for physical copies of the book (one day late for the first book talk, but never mind)! The thing is open access (as per funky open padlock symbol on the front cover doi.org/10.4324/9781...), so can't imagine too many of these will find their way into the offline realm
Thanks for having me @jonathanfloyd.bsky.social @rebeccabuxton.bsky.social, for the cake Alejandra Munoz (easily best bit of the the talk!), and for all the great questions, thoughts, and comments @crookedfootball.bsky.social, Alex Hepburn, @zaranosaur.bsky.social, Matthew Rutherford and all
Wonderful day talking about the book back at Bristol, where it all started!
And we thank you for it! 😀
All my thanks to Terrell Carver, @lawrencehamilton.bsky.social, @jonathanfloyd.bsky.social, Adam Swift, the folks at Routledge, and the many others who helped along the way
