Recently had the opportunity to attend a fascinating panel discussion about @tmbejan's new book. It promises to be a critical intervention in both political theory and intellectual history, challenging us to rethink past and present meanings of 'equality' and 'hierarchy'.
Today is the official release date for my new book, First Among Equals: Visions of Equality before Egalitarianism (Belknap, 2026).
It explores how and why “equality” became, rather suddenly, a basis on which ordinary men and women could make political demands in early modern England.

It's a great mail day when I receive a beautiful new hardback by @tmbejan. I'm glad to see Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers finally getting their due!

Hamilton School’s @evo_dav on Catherine of Siena: saint, mystic, and shrewd political actor.
Best known for her visions and letters, Catherine also played a decisive role in the politics of 14th-century Italy. She urged the papacy’s return from Avignon, intervened in the conflicts of the city-states, and developed a language of carità that linked love of God to the duties of civic life.
A vivid portrait of a woman who treated the active life of the city as an integral part of her religious vocation.

The Republic begins with four words: katebēn chthes eis Peiraia. We might say ‘Yesterday I went down to the Piraeus.’ Ancient sources report that a tablet was found among Plato’s effects on which these words had been written out in several different orders.
Plato’s final choice puts katebēn (‘I went down’) first.
Why?
The reissue of Hamilton and Cairns’ celebrated edition of Plato’s dialogues shows how every translation bears the marks of its era and of its translator’s taste.
