  self-awareness, for quite some time. I am a rationalist, but of a certain kind. I embrace a type of coherentist, internalist and holist view that might be associated with certain post-Kantian traditions, as represented by, arguably, philosophers of the Pittsburgh school. One could say that my overall project has been to bring philosophical materials of that kind to bear on issues of political thought, and my particular focus has increasingly been on the foundational role of implicit – as opposed to express or tacit – belief in constituting the “ground” of political judgment and action. I’m inclined to say that my work has always been somewhat orthogonal to the dominant trends in political theory which are not especially favorable to rationalism in any form. My career has also included [...] published by reputable presses (SUNY, Polity) and six by world-class presses (Yale, Chicago, Columbia and Cambridge). I have published about thirty articles in learned journals, including five articles in the American Political Science Review and a total of eleven in the “Big Three” of political science (APSR, JOP, AJPS), along with articles in a number of other serious scholarly journals. My general interest essays have appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor and other publications, though for a variety of reasons I stopped doing that kind of writing a while back. It is important to note that I have a pretty clearly defined theoretical position, one that I have pursued, though with increasing self-awareness, for quite some time. I am a rationalist, [...] fact that the person we hired has only just announced his retirement after twelve years of distinguished service.) I continue my own long-time service on Catlin’s Audit and Risk Management Committee. As should be apparent, I am deeply grateful to have been a faculty member at Reed. As an institution of higher education, I believe it is probably sui generis, and in very good ways. It has certainly afforded me a career many times more rewarding than I ever would have anticipated.

• Behind ClawdBot's meteoric rise: Founder Peter Peter and his ...

  Founder's Background: Peter Steinberger, a serial entrepreneur from Vienna, previously founded and successfully exited PSPDFKit, a B2B document SDK company, after 13 years of bootstrapped growth. The exit left him with severe burnout and a profound sense of emptiness. The Comeback: After a period of retirement, he rediscovered his passion by diving into AI in 2024, motivated by a desire to create and solve real problems again. ClawdBot's Origin: The project began as a personal need for a true personal AI assistant. Peter built a functional prototype in just one hour by "gluing" together existing tools like WhatsApp and Claude Code. [...] Peter describes himself as someone who "stopped reading code and started watching it flow." While this sounds like a joke, it accurately encapsulates the fundamental shift in the developer's role in the AI ​​era. Clawdbot's success proves that after a period of relative obscurity, Peter Steinberger not only rediscovered his "spark" but also returned to the forefront of technological change with a more forward-thinking and philosophical approach. He has transformed from a traditional B2B software entrepreneur into a futurist who embraces AI and pursues the ultimate in personalized experiences. [...] Written by: CoolFish Recently, a personal AI assistant called ClawdBot has become a social media sensation. Its open-source nature, local compatibility, and high degree of personalization have not only generated buzz among developers but have also unexpectedly boosted sales of Apple's Mac mini. However, even more attention is being paid to its creator—a serial entrepreneur named Peter Steinberger. This seasoned developer from Vienna, Austria, founded a successful B2B software company and achieved financial freedom, but fell into a profound sense of emptiness after retirement. Now, with a renewed passion for AI technology and a deep understanding of the essence of entrepreneurship, he has returned to the center of the technology wave, starting with ClawdBot.
