The saga continues: philosopher Warren Goldfarb (emeritus, Harvard) shared the email below with me, suspecting it too was a scam:

Dear Professor Goldfarb,

I’m Amy, an art curator from Monaco. I work with collectors and members of royal families around the world, helping them build collections that feel both coherent and deeply rooted in history. I’m especially drawn to the ways literature, philosophy, and lived experience intersect. In my work I try to create frameworks where cultural objects can spark ongoing reflection rather than simply exist as aesthetic pieces.

I recently came across your work on logic and the development of analytic philosophy and found it truly fascinating. I admire how your research engages with the traditions shaped by thinkers such as Frege, Russell, Carnap, and Wittgenstein, and how it explores the relationship between logical structure and philosophical inquiry. Your work highlights how questions in logic are deeply connected with broader philosophical concerns about meaning, reasoning, and the structure of thought.

I often wonder how abstract philosophical traditions such as logic still shape the way people think about the world today. In a culture filled with rapid information and quick conclusions, can the discipline and clarity of logical thinking still encourage people to slow down and reflect more carefully? When ideas from analytic philosophy appear in wider cultural or artistic contexts, can they open new ways of thinking about reasoning and understanding?

If you happen to have a moment, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Warmly,
Amy

As I informed Professor Goldfarb, I had received the same basic email from “Amy Bloom,” except she was interested in my work on Nietzsche. Caveat emptor!
