Philosophy Culture and Vision: African Perspectives. Selected Essays
Kwame Gyekye
Eyes turning into love hearts, steam coming out of my ears, somehow floating prone in mid air as I say "wowsa!", all caused by the sight of my copy of Gyeke's Philosophy, Culture, and Vision finally arriving.

Justice and the Meritocratic State
Thomas Mulligan
I started reading Justice and the Meritocratic State by Thomas Mulligan. The views and, like, persona of the author are pretty much the exact opposite of mine. Look at him, he’s literally a CIA man! But I’m actually really liking the book. It’s a cogent defence of centrism. https://t.co/xCJj8m7MSm

Family Values: Between Neoliberalism and the New Social Conservatism
Melinda Cooper
2. Melinda Cooper's book Family Values is a great run down of how it is that cultural conservative politics uphold can economic order even when they might seem to lack an intrinsic connection to the maintenance of contemporary capitalism. https://t.co/3DlM5OE9Xe

The Methods of Ethics
Henry Sidgwick
Reading Henry Sidgwick's The Methods of Ethics. It's actually pretty good. I'm reliably very Basic about Philosophical or Artistic classics. I tend to just like the stuff everyone says is good 🤷🏽

The Republic
Plato
@brettkarlan Also it just seems that some of humanity's greatest cultural goods are to be found in their philosophy. The world would be poorer in an important way without Plato's Republic or the Zhuangzi.
