Very proud to announce that my ancient manuscript on Henry Margenau is finally appearing in The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsta A preprint is already up at @philsci-archive.bsky.social #philsci #hps #sts #metascience #histsci #philsky

On last week's FT. I've agreed with this for a while, also in expert panels. You need to have experienced the "wild" in e.g. Scotland or Northern Spain

It's rather wonderful to be back at Harvard (as a visiting scholar this term) where I spent so much time 15-20 years ago. We both have aged and are wiser (and look more upmarket), but the intellectual excitement and inspiration remains the same. #philsci #hps #sts #metascience #histscie #philsky

Alejandro F. Cuesta first introduces "weak empirical logical exceptionalism" in a brilliant talk on quantum logic @ecap12th.bsky.social

It's been over a month since our workshop on entity realism, held at the @unibe.ch and supported by the @snsf.ch, where among others @msuarez.bsky.social and @kenaizawa.bsky.social delivered great talks! The recordings are finally available here: www.philosophie.unibe.ch/research/pro... #philsci

Very enjoyable conference at the Sorbonne with old friends and famous colleagues such as @michelamassimi.bsky.social and Victor Hugo (pictured 🙂). Thanks to the organizers for putting it all together!

This great 2-day conference on the metaphysical challenge of scientific pluralism is happening now in Sorbonne — so grateful to the organisers and wonderful hosts @daianbica.bsky.social and Adrien Avramoglou— with @msuarez.bsky.social Anjan Chakravartty, Andrea Hüttemann and many more speakers.

Wonderful session at Cambridge HPS - the old laboratory of physical chemistry. Thanks to everyone who came along! #hps #sts #philsci #histsci #philsky

At Kathy Wilkes memorial conference. @barrycsmith.bsky.social giving a superbly entertaining talk with Andy Clark in the audience. #philsci #philsky #metascience

Mike Christenson continues to publish wonderful papers putting the inferential conception to use in architecture. I could not be more chuffed - exactly the kind of reaction I was hoping for with Inference and Representation: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #hps #philsci #histsci #metascience

Honoured by the election to Academia Europaea / The Academy of Europe: www.ae-info.org/ae/Member/Su... Very grateful and much obliged to my proponents - Martin Carrier and Tarja Knuuttila - both of whom I admire and respect hugely.

Esto de David está bastante bien. Ojalá pueda hacerle ver la realidad a gente como @sebasfaber.bsky.social. “La chica más lista que conozco” quiere estudiar filosofía ctxt.es/es/20260401/...

Lovely session (in Spanish!) last Wednesday with researchers at UNAM's Institute of Philosophy on Inference and Representation. Amazingly good questions and comments. Thanks for the careful reading and attention! ¡Gracias! youtube.com/live/lTYzdDI... #philsci #hps #sts #metascience #philsky

One of Habermas' many merits was to be the first to understand the reactionary form of postmodernism behind Adorno and Horkheimer's unduly influential Dialectics of Enlightenment. No thinker ever did so much to restore the cause of reason. #philsci #hps #philtech #sts #metascience

Now out: How did earthquakes come to have a (quantitative) size? How can we quantify without experimental control? @cristianlarph.bsky.social and I answer both questions and show their implications for human science measurement. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #philsci #histsci #seismology

John Herschel was born OTD in 1792. His 1831 Preliminary Discourse launched a flowering of reflection on the aims and methods of science among British thinkers that was so rich and influential that Charles Sanders Peirce would later dub it “the Age of Method.” 🧪#HistSTM #PhilSci 🐋🌱

It was a great pleasure to talk to Ricardo Lopes about Inference and Representation. A long standing invitation to his Dissenter podcast, and we finally made it!

"An account of representation must make room for misrepresentation in all its different varieties." "Representation is not a success term. You can represent something and do it very poorly, with very little success." #PhilSci

New episode (1215), with Dr. Mauricio Suárez (@msuarez.bsky.social). We talk about his great book, Inference and Representation: A Study in Modeling Science. #Philosophy #Science YouTube: youtu.be/jMSVX0fQJYo Podcast: bit.ly/4rKRRQb

"Nothing represents unless it has the capacity to license some surrogative inferences ... however minimal, inappropriate, misleading, or incorrect these inferences might be’ (Mauricio Suárez, 2024, p. 157)

Excellent review of Inference & Representation by @guicogsci.bsky.social in Philosophy, the journal of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. Welcome to Bluesky, Gui! #philsci #hps #philsky #sts #philtech #metascience

New paper just published in Synthese: Instrumental Understanding link.springer.com/article/10.1... In this paper I start developing an account of pragmatic understanding fit for an epistemology of scientific instruments, drawing especially on Davis Baird's Thing Knowledge. #philsci #philsky

2025 has been a difficult year, which I will be happy to leave behind. Yet, it has turned into my most prolific year in terms of publications. The below 7 papers / book chapters are amongst my best ever. Some were researched and written in previous years, obviously. Still, remarkable productivity.
