The ultimate accolade!
In the episode the part starting "Alarmingly, the Port Royal Logic even says that ideas are forms in the mind..." is based on your article, which was super helpful for me in wrapping my head around all this.
Today's new episode! Arnauld’s attack on Malebranche’s theory of the “vision in God” leads to a nuanced debate over the nature of ideas.

I have to say that despite working on Ibn Sina for more than two decades, I was unaware that he had an "IQ of 180"
Coming up tomorrow on #HoPWaG: the debate between Malebranche and Arnauld on the "vision in God": how we form our ideas. This turns out to be an early version of the contemporary debate over representationalism.

They're not that expensive actually, especially the paperbacks. Plus you can impress other people by leaving the books lying around, which is hard to do with a podcast.
Out now: New book from Prof. Peter Adamson (@histphilosophy.bsky.social): *A History of Philosophy without any Gaps, Vol. 8: Philosophy in the Reformation*: global.oup.com/academic/pro... #historyofphilosophy #nogaps #reformation #newbook

Today we launch a new mini-series on the History of Philosophy in China podcast, covering "fa" thought or "Legalism."
Was it a coherent tradition, and does it deserve its nasty reputation?

Join us today for a special episode in the China series: to celebrate reaching the milestone of 50 episodes we look back at Warring States thought with the help of Bryan Van Norden!
www.historyofphilosophy.net/warring-stat...
#philsky #philosophy #podcasts #chinesephilosophy
To celebrate reaching fifty episodes in this series, Karyn Lai and Peter Adamson of the @histphilosophy.bsky.social podcast chat with a leading scholar of Chinese philosophy, Bryan W. Van Norden about Confucianism, Mohism, and Daoism.

He would be, wouldn't he?
"I can't go on... I'll go on... smiting."
E.g. "I flirted with him relentlessly and by the end of the evening, smote him thoroughly."
Since people can be "smitten" when they have a crush on someone, I hereby propose that successfully getting someone to have a crush on you should count as "smiting" them.
I actually talk about that in episode 488 (the previous one), which gets into his explanation of miracles. He has a story about it but it may not convince you.
By the way let's bring back the verb "smite," one hears it far too infrequently.
Coming up in a few hours on #HoPWaG: Karyn and I speak to Bryan Van Norden, one of the most prominent and eloquent interpreters of Chinese philosophy!
We ask him, among other things, how should we convince skeptics to make the effort to investigate non-European philosophical traditions?
Like earthquakes *and* hurricanes.
