Looking forward to plod I have not read Spinoza's Ethics yet, but have the Hackett version. Thanks for your work here I believe it enriches everyone. This subscription is money well spent.
I'm really glad that the read-along will continue to be free, as I'm from Brazil and to pay in dollar is very expansive to me. I hope one day I will be able to support you.
Congrats on your success on Substack! The care you put into each post is palpable and your YouTube videos always feel refreshing to me. You've inspired me to take my writing on Substack more seriously. I hope for your continued success and growth!
Hey Jared, I am happy to hear you are hitting a new stride with this newsletter and are balancing this writing with the writing of your book. I am very much looking forward to news about that!
I am curious about you you looking to hire a copyeditor. Will this be a job your post or are you working with one you already know? I am asking because I work in publishing and am looking to gain experience on the editorial side outside of my academic editorial editing work.
Please keep your love for writing alive because I know we all love to read what you write.
You helped me to get back to reading philosophy and I’m very thankful. I hope you have as much success and fun in your future endeavors as I’ve had reading your work. Can’t wait to read it.
These updates sound great! Really looking forward to The Plod and to seeing how you tackle a few dense, tough works as I have a couple of my own in mind for next year.
While not a professional editor in any way, I have some skills in the area. If you want any help in that regard, feel free to reach out. I’m the person who always finds mistakes in books. I’m the person who people I know reach out to for edits on personal and professional projects. I think I did half a dozen passes over my wife’s thesis and my own academic background was quite rigorous in terms of writing. Happy to help if you want.
Welcome move Jared! It's sad since like you all of us had gotten fond of the name walking away, but I'm sure we'll grow to love Commonplace Philosophy and The Plod too!
Sadly, I think you're correct in your decision to re-brand. The first time I saw the name "walking away" I thought it was a political Substack.
These days branding needs to be unambiguous. I chose "Ataraxia or Bust!" as the name of my Substack because according to Google those words had never appeared together before.
You do have to change things if they aren’t working for you. I like the new name. It makes sense regarding your content. Copy editing. I spent my journalistic career doing just that. I miss it, but I’m glad I was part of print journalism’s heyday.
Very much looking forward to The Plod!
All goods news, keep doing your thing!

Hi Jared,
If you’re still looking for an editor I’m interested. I’m also a PhD in philosophy. My email is daxbennington@gmail.com
A rose under any other name... 🥰

If you might be interested, send me a message. I also need to research what a fair rate is!

I saw your commonplace books video on YouTube a while ago and just found you now on Substack. How convenient!

Great things to come! No worries on slowing down, especially if it allows you to sustain writing here too.

Yes, I didn’t even consider that connotation when I picked the name.
Solid and smart rebranding and will happily Plod along with you when the time comes.
