Dass unser Account bei #Openbiblio wieder läuft, gibt uns gerade noch rechtzeitig die Gelegenheit, #Wikipedia zum 25. Geburtstag zu gratulieren – herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Schon vor 20 Jahren gab es bei uns einen Artikel zur Online-#Enzyklopädie, der inzwischen wohl als zeithistorische Quelle zu lesen ist:

"Why Has Transphobia Gone Mainstream in Philosophy?" by Samantha Hancox-Li, Contingent Magazine, October 1, 2019, https://contingentmagazine.org/2019/10/01/transphobia-philosophy/

Why Has Transphobia Gone Mainstream in Philosophy?

Is philosophy uniquely hostile to trans people? No. It is hostile to marginalized people in general.

I am excited to share my very first published article, which explores the thoughts of the 17th-century Moroccan scholar al-Ḥasan al-Yūsī on the acquisition of knowledge from books. In it, I discuss the importance of books for rural Sufi scholars in the Western Maghrib, the conditions they set for acquiring knowledge directly from books (and not just from their teachers!), and the laborious process of collating and correcting manuscripts. If you're curious about how pre-modern scholars ensured the accuracy of the knowledge in their handwritten books - and why this was so important to them - please take a look! If you don't have access, feel free to contact me. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/24519197-bja10059 Some of you may remember the little writing crisis I had about a year ago. Thanks to your valuable advice, this piece finally came together! 🙏 It's been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. #writing #bookhistory @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

I see History of Knowledge has migrated from WordPress.com to Hypotheses.org. Given all the nonsense that Automattic has been putting its clients through, I am glad. It should have a nice long life on that platform.

The current domain, https://historyofknowledge.net points or forwards there, although I don’t know if it will over the long term. Fortunately, the new domain pops right up on a DuckDuckGo search for “History of Knowledge blog” – https://historyofknowledge.hypotheses.org.
