Excited to announce that @welsch_martin and I have launched a new book series with the prestigious German publisher Klostermann: 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘦 / 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺. We publish works in German & English. Got an idea? Reach out!
😊 Forthcoming in August: Heinrich Meier's 𝘓𝘦𝘰 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘴.
I’ll never stop saying it. I don’t care if everyone knows it. Lessing scholars are unstoppably fucking cool.
Vielen Dank für die tolle Rezension von Martins Buch & die Vorschusslorbeeren für unsere Reihe POLITISCHE PHILOSOPHOPHIE: "Vielleicht wird sie die Heimat einer anregenden Debatte zu den politischen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart, die philosophisch neu durchdacht werden müssen."
Hier ein Paywall-freier Link zu meiner Rezension des Buchs „Kantischer Anarchismus“ von @welsch_martin in @derfreitag (wobei ein Abo natürlich sehr zu empfehlen ist) freitag.de/autoren/joerg-…
1/2 Out now! "Independence, Globality, and the Battle of Ideas: A Dialogue on Liberty" by Quentin Skinner (@qmHPT) & @tomaashby (@UTokyo_News), a wide-ranging, scholarly, & full-length discussion article - the first such piece our journal! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Matthew Yglesias drank the @CatherineProj Kool-Aid! Welcome, and thank you for writing about us! Why I joined a weird Zoom book club, by @mattyglesias slowboring.com/p/why-i-joined…
It's funny reading something in New Yorker tone that is basically about the end of writing and thinking. A sort of jovial survey punctuated by quotes like "I couldn’t tell you the thesis for either paper hahhahaha." newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…
ja heul doch bei diesen temperaturen hat platon die politeia geschrieben
Excited to announce that the special issue of the Lessing Yearbook — edited by Carl Niekerk, Joe Haydt, @jonathanbfine, and myself — is coming this December! It documents the contributions to the 2023 conference LESSING'S LEGACY at @UChicago. Stay tuned for more!
Los geht's! #LessingWorkshop mit Benedikt Jeßing und Claudia Nitschke!
🥳 The press just informed me that Ronna Burger's book is now available and that my copy is in the mail. staugustine.net/9781587316708/…
Very, very good news: Ronna Burger's The Pheado is now out in a second edition (with a new preface on "The Death of Socrates and the Post-Socratic Schools" and her fantastic essay "On Plato's Euthyphro").
🥳Cover reveal time! I'm excited to share this first look at an upcoming edited volume of Leo Strauss's writings on exoteric writing. This book — coming out very soon with @EdizioniETS — is close to my heart and has been years in the making.
Checking the galley proofs for an Italian volume on Leo Strauss that will come out with @EdizioniETS this summer! Off to the printer!
Auf der Tapete des Gleimhauses verewigte sich Lessing: Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. 1780 dies in lite.
