Nice to meet you in person!
This is likely to be one of the final printed issues of *The Monist*, as the journal will soon move to an online-only format.

Delighted to have joined the editorial team of *Analysis* as an Associate Editor. Itβs an honour to be part of the life of such a great journal.
University of Helsinki is hiring:
Postdoctoral Researcher in History of Ethics
I should also thank F. JonbΓ€ck, editor of *Agatheos*, without whose support the symposium would not have come into existence.
Here is the symposium I guest edited for *Agatheos: European Journal for Philosophy of Religion* on Amir Saemi's book, *Morality and Revelation in Islamic Thought and Beyond*, with excellent contributions by I. Aijaz, F. Akhlaghi, R. Audi, and L. Brown, to all of whom I am deeply grateful.

An issue of the Monist has just appeared devoted to Ibn SΔ«nΔ/Avicenna! A great lineup of authors, and I'm honored to be part of it, having written a paper with Michael Noble about the reception of the idea of the Active Intellect.

Honoured to be selected as the treasurer of the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion. Looking forward to working with Christopher Insole (president) and David Leech (secretary). The theme of the next BSPR conference, scheduled for 2027, is "God and the Limits of Reason". Stay tuned!

Huge thanks to all the brilliant speakers at the 2nd Manchester Workshop on Islamic Phil. (Wahid Amin, Fedor Benevich, Kamran Karimullah, Jon McGinnis, and Aysenur Tabur)! All the talks were truly fascinating! Stay tuned for the 3rd workshop, which will hopefully feature a larger group of speakers!
Looking forward to the Second Manchester Workshop on Islamic Philosophy, taking place on July 3-4.

Had a great time in Nottingham! Enjoyed a lot the after-talk conversations I had with brilliant students and scholars at @uonphilosophy.bsky.social.
Looking forward to this event at @uonphilosophy.bsky.social today!
My good friend @helendecruz.net is currently in hospice after a long battle with cancer, and has written this beautiful piece reflecting on what is truly of value in life.

Excited that this conference is approaching!
Two incoming PhD students planning to work with me on Islamic Philosophy (with an analytical approach) have received full funding. Encouraging to see the field thriving at @manchester.ac.uk (@uomsoss.bsky.social).

Delighted to be able to share this new forthcoming paper: my part of a book symposium on Amir Saemi's excellent 'Morality and Revelation in Islamic Thought and Beyond', edited by Mohammad Saleh Zarepour for Agatheos: European Journal for Philosophy of Religion. philpapers.org/rec/AKHDPE
I learnt a lot from your academic writings, tweets, and social media posts, and I am and will be thankful for them. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, sending you love and peace.
My *Avicenna + Zorn = Necessary Existent* is published in the new vol. of OSPR, edited by @larabuchak.net and Dean Zimmerman. Combining a series of Avicennian principles and Zorn's lemma, I have developed a proof for the ex. of God, which is probably stronger than the original Proof of the Sincere.
