Happy New Year’s Eve! Above and beyond my teaching duties and my work on Adam Smith’s life and ideas (see my previous post), I also want to highlight a few of my many other sundry scholarly endeavors during this past calendar year:

1. A paper describing my 2024 sabbatical at Rollins College: “My Sabbatical with Homer et al.“
2. A paper taking a second look at David Hume’s famous argument against miracles: “Evidence and Belief: David Hume in the Library of Babel“
3. A paper retracing the intellectual origins of Ronald Coase’s counter-intuitive model of reciprocal harms: “Coase’s Fable“
4. A series of blog posts on the impact of ChatGPT on the mission of higher ed: see here for a compilation of my relevant links
5. A series of blog posts on the exchange of letters in the mid-1970s between James Buchanan and Warren Samuels: see here for a compilation of my relevant links
6. A series of blog posts on the late Alasdair MacIntyre’s 2023 essay “On Having Survived the Academic Moral Philosophy of the 20th Century”: see here, here, here, here, and here

In addition to these papers and projects, I have also been writing up a primer on the law-liberty dilemma in modern political theory, which I will post to SSRN soon.
