Weekly Digest #80

Something for the weekend:

1. What is the purpose of nurse education (and what should it be)?

2. ‘At three miles an hour, the world is a continuum. One thing merges into the next: hills into mountains, rivers into valleys, suburbs into city centers; cultures are not separate things but points along a spectrum. Traits and languages evolve, shading into one another and metamorphosing with every mile. Even borders are seldom borders, least of all ecologically. There are no beginnings or endings, only continuity’ Link

3. The Antinomy of the Anthropocene: The Narrative of Enlightenment in Dipesh Chakrabarty’s Ecological Theory

4. The Deodands Project

5. Special issue on Critical Perspectives on Digital Capitalism

7. With and against Max Weber: A Conversation with Wendy Brown on Politics and Scholarship in Nihilistic Times

8. Feminist mental health activism in England, c. 1968-95

9. The Unconscious in Husserl’s Phenomenology and this

10. On the Pastoral Matrix of Economic Care

13. ‘The ice sheets represent the most glaring example of a fundamental issue behind human stagnation when it comes to climate change: time. The failure to address the world’s most existential risk is at root a temporal problem. Virtually none of the timelines—of emissions, of impacts, of solutions—line up in ways that society can effectively manage’ Link

14. The Philosophical Case for a Four-Day Workweek

15. Infected blood scandal: Children were used as 'guinea pigs' in clinical trials
