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.

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...
