About

This is Nousy, a blogcast about philosophy, by a student philosopher.

Etymology

Nous (pronounced /nu:s/) is Greek for mind and Nousy (pronounced /nu:si/) is what I call things that contain food for thought, like this blogcast.

Nousy is a blogcast (i.e. both a blog and podcast). I blog mostly about epistemology, ethics, metaphilosophy, and metaphysics; and podcast primarily about contemporary work in philosophy. I also post blogpost recaps and revised articles from my archive.

History

Founded in ‘22 as a blog on Blogger, evolved in ‘23 into a blogcast on Substack.

Purpose

To make my thoughts more clear and share some food for thought.

Design

Minimalist ad-free design to enhance focus.

Schedule

Nousy is usually updated on Sundays and Wednesdays; with some exceptions (due to illness, travel, etc).

Commenting Culture

No spam, insults, personal attacks or offensive material. Please participate in good faith and always aim towards, if not agreement, a mutually respectful understanding.

Author

I’m a philosophy student at UofT, a polyglot, an imperfect being + perfectionist, play bass guitar and soccer (but not at the same time), love to travel, explore the outdoors, enjoy afternoon tea with friends and, however rarely, perform stand-up comedy.
