Has anyone who has visited Schloss Ambras any thoughts on how long it takes to do everything fully and slowly? A full (7-hour) day with meal breaks? 1.5 or 2 days? Thanks! #Histodons #EarlyModons #Twitterstorians

"I come now to another Engine, which we may properly call the Perpetual Motion, because no sooner is it dash’d on the ground, but it presently rises again with a jerk, and plays with as much activity as ever." - Pierre Bayle, 'Philosophical Commentary on These Words of the Gospel, Luke 14.23, “Compel Them to Come In, That My House May Be Full”'

Hadn't realised the Perpetual Motion machine idea was around in the 17th century.

I'm a little emotional today since I just heard that my book made it to the - hsozkult - starting page thanks to Elisabeth Heijmans' wonderful book review.

Random 18th century weirdness: St Augustine referred to as St Austin. (Confusing until context made it clear.)

Do love this paper, not least for its title

"What the Women of Dublin Did with John Locke"

Seems like #Amo agrees w/ #Leibniz that mental causation is best understood teleologically, but disagrees w/ Leibniz by holding that mental causation can, as it were, reach out into the external world, a capacity he apparently takes as primitive.

Though he's not one of the (many) authors Amo cites (at least in the Impassivity), a good early modern source for this way of thinking about mind-world is #Arnauld.

#philosophy #earlymodons

New and busted: "this question lies beyond the scope of the present paper."
Old hotness: "This quarrel we will not make our own." [quam litem nostram non facimus] (Amo, Impassivity [1734], §4, note 2)

Please extend a warm welcome to the delightful Ricardo Padrón ( @profe1967 ), one of my very first academic buddies, and now on this app! Ricardo has written two terrific books about early modern maps and the Spanish empire. (I can't BELIEVE he found a thing called mapStodon to join.) Come and find us both at the Renaissance Society of America conference next month. #Histodons #EarlyModons #EarlyModern #Renaissance

One of #Berkeley's most fundamental disagreements with #Locke is over Locke's claim that the "civil Use" of words is "very Distinct" from the "Philosophy Use" (Essay 3.9.3).

I defend this reading in some detail here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/papq.12199

The paper could've been improved if I'd had this particular bit of Locke at the front of my mind back then! 🙂

First, I really want to read 'arbitrary' in the mathematician's sense ('consider an arbitrary triangle').
Second, GRUMBLETONIANS!!
