Contemporary Aristotelian Metaphysics Cover Art

My Contemporary Aristotelian Metaphysics volume is just about to be published by Cambridge University Press, and the cover art has now been released! It looks pretty good to me, although I may be biased since the cover photo is one of my own. I took it in 2008 on a hill walk in the Cheviots [...]

Reporting from the Pacific Northwest

UPDATE: I’ve added some photos from Seattle, the Cascades, Vancouver, and Portland to my gallery. I’ve been in the Pacific Northwest for a week now, with Seattle as my base. So far it has been mostly a tourist trip, but I should start by noting that I’ll be giving a talk ‘Grounding Modality’ at Reed [...]

Hiking in the Pyrenees

I’ve been meaning to write a report about my hiking/camping trip to the Pyrenees with Pekka, which took place in mid-July. I’ve only now had the chance to go through all my photos (link to my gallery with all the shots). Not that I took that many photos — in fact, my camera let me [...]

Running the Mamores

My report on this long-awaited go at fell running in Scotland in the beginning of July is a bit overdue, but I’ve been quite busy with my travels and work. You can expect some more updates in the coming weeks though, if everything goes well… The plan for this trip emerged maybe a year ago, [...]

Previous installments: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. This the final installment of my NYU Diaries, since I’m returning to Finland. Not that much to report this time. The summer seems to have finally arrived in NYC, just as I’m leaving. However I’m under the impression that NYC can get disgustingly hot in the summer, [...]

NYU Diaries #4

Previous installments: #1, #2, and #3. Busy, busy, busy. I’ve got just over a month of my visit left, but I won’t be having much of a breather for the next couple of weeks at least. As you’ll know if you read my previous post, I was in Boise, Idaho last weekend for a conference. [...]

NYU Diaries #2

If you missed the first installment of my NYU Diaries, it’s here. It’s coming to three weeks since I arrived, and I’ve barely had a breather. It’s not because I go out on a couple of nights each week, try to write several papers at the same time, attend seminars, or run record weekly mileage. [...]

2010 in Review

2010 was a rather stressful year for me with some insecurity about the future and most of all a feeling that I ought to move on after spending five years at Durham. This was especially prompted by a six week visit to Geneva in the end of 2009. Well, in the end I prevailed and [...]
