Tomorrow is the official publication date for my latest book, Honesty: The Philosophy and Psychology of a Neglected Virtue
@OUPPhilosophy
. I'm very excited for it to come out! The book is my most original work of philosophy, as there was almost nothing written... (1/10)
Always amazed how analytic philosophers devote hundreds of articles to some topics...while in the past 50 years writing almost nothing on kindness, on honesty, on generosity, on patience, and on graciousness.
Stunning, really.

It's out! My new edited collection, Integrity, Honesty, and Truth Seeking, just arrived from OUP. Ryan and I are thrilled with how it turned out; hopefully it can make a significant contribution to discussions of these important but neglected virtues. Even available in paperback!

Very grateful for the support and this tremendous opportunity to work on my next book. It will be a non-academic book on lying, cheating, bs-ing, and all the other forms of dishonesty (and what we can do about them).

Highly recommend this new book by
@the_Timpest
and Craig Boyd with
@OUPPhilosophy
. Even though it is a short introduction it's packed with great stuff. Definitely consider for classroom use.
What virtues or vices have been seriously neglected by researchers in the past, say, 50 years and need a lot more study?
I'll go first:
Honesty
Generosity
Very excited to announce that Oxford will be releasing a paperback version of The Character Gap in a few weeks. Was great to see the first copies today! Thanks,

You wouldn't believe the number of philosophers who agree to write a book review for JMP (I'm the book review editor), get sent a free book, and then completely ghost me. Don't answer my emails 9-12 months later, but post on FB and Twitter all the time. A small thing, but sigh...
We are hiring two tenure-track jobs in philosophy here

Farewell to one of the greatest philosophers of the past 50 years. His book, Finite and Infinite Goods, alone is a classic.

@BloomsburyPhilo
So grateful to the contributors for updating their chapters 10 years later + authors of new chapters.
Just signed the contract to do the second edition of the Bloomsbury Companion to Ethics. I was very proud of the first edition, and now it will be updated and include several new chapters.
@BloomsburyPhilo
@apaphilosophy
Proofs submitted for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Ethics - it is going to happen! Thrilled with how this volume has turned out. Very excited for it to appear in November!
Grateful to Nancy Snow,

@BloomsburyPhilo
Who comes to mind as an excellent but underappreciated contemporary philosopher?
For me, it's William Alston.
Everything I read of his is incredibly rich and interesting.
Robert Roberts belongs on the list too.
Very humbled...Moral Psychology has already been downloaded 1219 times in two days. I really hope it ends up being interesting and helpful. Thank you everyone! And please continue to share the link below while the book remains free!

Made it through the first week of Zoom teaching for my two philosophy courses. Never envisioned teaching this way before, but my students
@WakeForest
have been so great about the change. Still, I miss seeing them in person.
Honored to be included in this great collection on practical wisdom. This is one of my favorite papers to write in many years. Also one of my most controversial.

*Publication Day*
Excited to share that the Second Edition of the Bloomsbury Handbook of Ethics is out today!
It is marketed for libraries now, but a paperback is in the works. Would appreciate sharing the news so that this reference can be used widely!

Today I finished a draft of my chapter on deepfakes and dishonesty.
That puts me at 6 out of 9 chapters drafted for my new book on technology and dishonesty. Still on track to have a complete draft by the start of school in the fall!
Very excited to see this arrive from
