Today in Labor History July 1, 1766: François-Jean de la Barre, a young French nobleman, was tortured, beheaded and burnt on a pyre for reading Voltaire's Dictionnaire philosophique and, more importantly, for not saluting a Roman Catholic religious procession in Abbeville, France. The articles in Voltaire’s work included critiques of the Catholic Church, as well as Judaism and Islam. The general public loved the book, which sold out quickly after its first, anonymous, printing. The religious authorities hated it and censored it in France and Switzerland. Charles Dickens reference the torture and murder of la Barre in his novel, Tale of Two Cities. Voltaire tried, unsuccessfully, to defend la Barre. His writings immediately after the arrest did help several other young Frenchman get acquitted for the same offenses.

"#Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, a gifted teacher and dynamic educator, has influenced thousands of #Jewish leaders over his long #rabbinic career. #Philosopher Steven Katz claimed that “no Jewish thinker has had a greater impact on the #American Jewish community in the last two decades than Irving (Yitz) Greenberg.” Rabbi and author Joseph Telushkin described him as “one of #Judaism’s great gifts to the world,” while rabbi and activist Avi Weiss hailed him as “one of the seminal thinkers of our generation.”
Greenberg’s recently #published magnum opus, The Triumph of Life: A Narrative #Theology of Judaism, is arguably the most compelling and thought-provoking $book to grace the Jewish #bookshelf this year."
And while we're in #Córdoba, let's pay a visit to all the city's famous #philosopher sons (who got a monument in town):
Seneca (* c. 4 BCE)
Maimonides (* 1138 CE)

Happy birthday to #philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) who, amongst other things speculated about a teapot orbiting in space. This lino block print of Russell’s Teapot is part of my series of Imaginary Friends of Science of charismatic thought experiments. In this case, the alledged china teapot, in orbit between Earth and Mars is an analogy by philosopher Bertrand Russell

“Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than to be loved” -Niccolo Machiavelli

I need to know something. Maybe the #bluesci comm can help. I am recently a #PhD in #Chem. I am also a practicing amateur #philosopher / #historian who obtained his minor in Phil in undergrad. This means I read original works and commentary as seriously as I do my own sci #research when I can. 1/

For a wrongdoer to be undetected is difficult; and for him to have confidence that his concealment will continue is impossible.
Even a thought, even a possibility, can shatter us and transform us.
