Many thanks @pence and Alexandre Guay for accommodating my talk online today for the conference ‘From science to metaphysics?’ https://sciencemeta.sciencesconf.org — very sorry to miss the rest of the conference because of an annoying bug!
@StevenFrench indeed get well soon, Steven! Sorry to hear you are unwell.

@StevenFrench @aptshadow I am sure it is a terrific book, Steven! Look forward to seeing it in print. And I wish I had the same ability to skip rabbit holes (they are irresistible, are not they?! A sheer joy …)😄
@StevenFrench @aptshadow 🎉🎉🎉 well-done Steven on the 20k edits! And many congrats on getting the book ready for the copy editing! Fascinating book topic and materials.
@sabinaleonelli many congrats Sabina! A much needed contribution in this important area.

Marvellous news. Let's hope this is not another false dawn. UK astronomy in particular has been enormously successful in @HorizonEU and its loss would be / have been a critical blow

@vwang93 @histoftech thank you very much Victoria! Hope you are enjoying my book. And most importantly Happy Birthday! 🎊🎊🎊
http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/21784/ Back to #kant as my drawing board: I wrote a new paper on #cosmopolitan right, its normative foundations and some overlooked legacy of the #metaphysics of nature in understanding this important piece of Kant’s legal-political philosophy. Went down several rabbit’s holes on the key notion of ‘community’ (Third Analogy of Experience) thanks to reviewers’s comments! Forthcoming in Kantian Review and with huge thanks to guest editors A. Cooper and A. Jones!

@stefan_hessbrueggen thanks a lot! That is helpful. I will check it out.
@philippsteinkrueger thanks 🙏
@philippsteinkrueger thanks! I was actually really hoping to run a word search across the AA as I am trying to locate a very specific reference across Kant’s works to answer reviewer 1 comment on a paper I have to resubmit — I can always blame the IT hacking of the Korpora edition if I can’t come up with a good answer, I guess 😄 (silver lining…)
Question for colleagues working on #Kant: I have just found out that the digital Korpora edition of Kant’s AA at Duisburg-Essen has been down for two months because of IT hacking and only slowly coming back. Is there a backup copy of the digitised AA somewhere that one can access? Thanks for pointers!
