It's the birthday of the American philosopher, John Dewey! One class he loved teaching was Psychological Ethics. Here's a shot of his first day lecture notes in Fall 1914. These are the first words that Bhimrao #Ambedkar would hear from Dewey at Columbia. #pragmatist #Jaibhim 1/

Further signs that #Ambedkar is a thinker & activist of importance for #rhetoric , #journalism , as well as #philosophy . Like his teacher #JohnDewey , he did much more than write books for other people who write books. Unlike Dewey, however, Ambedkar was a powerful orator! #Jaibhim

It's an honor to have my book on John Dewey and Bhimrao Ambedkar reviewed alongside of @ASR_Metta 's wonderful biography. So many new angles of #Ambedkar to explore; let's find ways to tell new stories. #Jaibhim

Many teachers/students in this image from @TeachersCollege : my own sharp doctoral advisee, @vishalthakare9 , his student from India, @vikas_tatad (now studying at Columbia), and my teacher (of sorts) John Dewey. Vikas has plans to start his own school back in India. #Jaibhim

An #Ambedkar history question that hasn’t been asked yet: can we determine whatever happened to the German sub that destroyed so many of #babasaheb ’s precious books in 1917? #jaibhim

Did you know that _every_ edition of #Ambedkar 's "Riddles in Hinduism" you've read is incomplete? I identify the exact passages-from Ambedkar's professor, #JohnDewey -left out in @ASHRhetoric 's journal → ← #Jaibhim #caste #TeamRhetoric #democracy

Less than a week until this book comes out from @HarperCollinsIN . It is full of new information about #Ambedkar , his thought, & his education that you won't find in any other book. It's both a biography of his past & a sketch of what his philosophy means for #democracy . #Jaibhim

An interesting piece by Ashok Gopal on Bhimrao #Ambedkar and food.

Ambedkar and Food Volume 3 | Issue 8 [December 2023] - On Eating

A deep interest in food is not something one would immediately associate with B.R. Ambedkar, but from accounts of people who were close to him, we know that he liked to eat well. From his Marathi...

We must find more ways to stop erasing or overlooking #Ambedkar from our histories of philosophy, from comparative philosophy, from philosophy of religion, from political theory, & more. In my eyes, he belongs there as much as Dewey, Kant, Addams, Marx, Sankara, & others. 7/

@DagErikBerg Yes, a unique aura surrounds #Ambedkar , just look at the #rhetoric of the concrete art memorializing him--here's the famous Lucknow statue that even includes a description of him as a "Bodhisatva" or enlightened being who forgoes nirvana on the plaque. #jaibhim #AmbedkarJayanti

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy folks said that the lack of philosophical discourse on Ambedkar in the west meant that I "should check back with them in five years." Why wait? We can spur more research & teaching concerning #Ambedkar in the west with an entry _now_. 2/

More western academics should add Bhimrao #Ambedkar to such syllabi and courses. Nice work @NTampio engaging Ambedkar as a theorist and as part of the #pragmatist tradition!

There are many ideas in Ambedkar to reflect on. Here’s an article exploring (and answering!) some riddles relating to Ambedkar‘s pragmatist philosophy, Buddhism, and his use of concepts from John Dewey. #johndewey #ambedkar #pragmatism @AmbedkarCaravan
