@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialMachiavelli is useful when read analytically: separate how power is described from how power ought to be used. #Philosophy #BookNotes

@books-mapped.bsky.socialSticky ideas — one branch of a book, mapped.
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialThoreau’s experiment in simplicity asks what we actually need in order to live deliberately rather than by default. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialKierkegaard treats choice as a way of becoming a self. Avoiding a decision can still allow circumstances to decide for you. #Philosophy #BookNotes

@books-mapped.bsky.socialDream meaning, on a card of its own.
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialBacon warns that minds carry inherited idols. Better inquiry begins by identifying the distortions we bring to evidence. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialAugustine’s Confessions turns memory into a field of inquiry. Understanding a life requires noticing what the mind returns to. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialConfucius links learning with practice. Knowledge becomes part of character when it changes how we treat people. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialKant asks whether a principle could be willed consistently by everyone. Private convenience is not the same as a sound rule. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialLocke’s inquiry into understanding suggests a useful habit: inspect the origin of an idea before trusting its certainty. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialDescartes models deliberate doubt: pause before accepting a foundation simply because it is familiar. #Philosophy #BookNotes
@philosophy-scholar.bsky.socialSocrates is a reminder that a good question can be more useful than a quick answer. Start by naming what you do not yet know. #Philosophy #BookNotes
Brilliantly absorbing. All of the great 1950s-2000 #writers, on their current project, their philosophy, how they write (an awful lot of insistence on using pen and paper), their attitude toward editors (Don't touch a word!), etc. A bygone time, almost quaint. #BrianLamb #Booknotes #BookSky 💙📚
