If you prefer your #histsci (or #philsci!) in audio form, be sure to listen to @emilyherring.bsky.social (2018-19 LHL Fellow) discuss Henri #Bergson's theories of time & comedy w/Matthew Sweet on a recent episode of Free Thinking on BBC Radio 4.

I am trying to organise a book launch and I need to get a sense of how many people would attend. Would any of my London (or London adjacent) moots be interested in coming? It would be on release day on Oct 24!

I feel like the beauty of Einstein's response is that he makes it clear he is not going to answer the question but somehow makes it Brunschvicg's fault

Incidentally, this was also the meeting during which the infamous debate between Einstein and Bergson took place. See Jimena Canales' book on the topic and the chapter about this episode in my forthcoming book which you can preorder here www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/emily...

10/10 no notes!!!! Einstein absolutely killed this. There's no possible comeback on Brunschvig's part, Einstein fully dodged the question in the most elegant, casual, and blasé way possible! You love to see it

This is where Einstein was TRULY a genius. He tactfully responded that “each philosopher has their own Kant,” adding, “I cannot answer what you have just said, because the few indications you have given are insufficient for me to know how you interpret Kant.”

The meeting started with a presentation of Einstein's theories by physicist Paul Langevin after which the floor was opened to questions. Léon Brunschvig launched into a lengthy question about the links between relativity and Kant’s conception of science. Admire Brunschvig's béret

When he came to Paris in 1922, Einstein, by then a Nobel laureate, was snubbed by the French physics society because of post WWI anti-German sentiments. He therefore found himself speaking before a crowd of philosophers and a few physicists at the French philosophical society.

One of my favourite little details I found researching my book is an exchange between Einstein and French philosopher Léon Brunschvig in 1922 which provides an absolute masterclass in how to avoid a question you don't know how to/don't want to answer

I mainly work with academics. Some of them hire me to proofread their work (from articles to PhD dissertations). Others hire me because English (or French) isn't their first language and they need more in-depth editing.

The book is available for preorder! I'm told preorders matter a lot for first time authors like myself. If you are interested in the life of a man who became the most famous thinker in the world for his theories about time and consciousness look no further
