Iain D. Thomson, "Rethinking Death in and after Heidegger" (Cambridge UP, 2024)
We are coming up on the centenary of Heidegger’s Being and Time, a text that radically reshaped the intellectual landscape. One of its most central themes, death, remains one of its most difficult to understand, puzzling readers and scholars with language that at times can feel obscure and ethereal. This has generated a plethora of opinions on the topic, although without much of a consensus.

I had the incredible honor of delivering the commencement address to UC Berkeley Philosophy department's graduating class of 2024 during this time of momentous social upheaval. As an alumnus who studied under legendary professor Hubert Dreyfus, a pioneer in applying existential phenomenology to critique technology and "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), it was powerful to return and share reflections with these bright young minds. In my speech, I recounted how studying the work of Bertrand Russell and other great philosophers at Berkeley changed my life.

Meanwhile, Cove Rangers have possibly pulled off the coup of the summer in landing another ex-County pair in Iain Vigurs and Ross Draper, with Dundee pair Lyall Cameron and Josh Mulligan also heading back to Peterhead. ...
