- “…while social (e.g., race, class, gender) diversity may be necessary to yield certain epistemic benefits in some contexts, it is not sufficient. Further resources that are needed to support and enhance the practices for diverse epistemic communities are identified.” #philsky #philsci

- Exciting: "recent scientific discoveries have revealed that culture is in fact surprisingly widespread across the animal kingdom...Now, major conservation agencies have begun to recognize that these discoveries could have big implications for conservation agendas" #philsky #philsci #animalcognition
- What makes a particular #experiment 'pursuitworthy'? Do criteria differ across scientific fields? @ennofischer.bsky.social & I have extended the deadline for submissions to our topical collection on these issues. Please help us spread the word! 👇 tu-dresden.de/gsw/phil/iph... #philsci #philsky #HPS
- Isaac Kean in his doctoral thesis analysed some of the data from this survey that's specifically about economists' perception of themselves and what makes their field special (method? subject matter?). I hope others do that for other disciplines of social science. #philsci #econsky
- The third article in the special issue Are Social Sciences Special? which @martinkusch.bsky.social and I co-edit is by @federicobrandmayr.bsky.social. It presents results of a large survey of British academics on how they see their own disciplinary identity wrt social sciences #philsci #sts #histsci
- The second article in the special issue is by coeditor @martinkusch.bsky.social It’s a magisterial analysis of how German speaking philosophers delineated sciences by method and subject matter, politics raging in the background. #philsci #histsci #philsky #sts
- Thrilled for this upcoming title from @oupphilosophy.bsky.social. I recommend it to you all in my capacity as a philosopher, though I am also partial to the author for personal reasons #philsci #philsky
- What does beauty have to do with science? | iai.tv/articles/jam... @milenaivanova.bsky.social argues that science does in fact use beauty to trigger feelings of awe and wonder, but beauty can also be a guide to scientific discovery. #philsci ⚛️ 🧪

- I wrote a review of a new edition of a textbook that was pivotal in my life. The review came out more personal and sentimental than any other book review I've written. So I added some criticisms. Thanks to the Journal of Economic Methodology for inviting it #philsci #philsky #econsky
- Really #PhilSci seems to have an usually-high amount of analytic polemics, now that I think about it: Derrida v Searle, Popper v Kuhn, and the rise n fall of the positivists in general come to mind. More recently, debates over psychiatry and neuroscience have gotten particularly heated, too!
- Fascinating+infuriating example of what a lack of #PhilSci can do to someone, centered on: > The notion that drug addiction is a brain disease... encapsulates all that’s wrong with today’s science in this area. There is absolutely no data in humans to show that drug addiction is a brain disease.
- In the next Perspectives on Science seminar on Monday, April 7, Jennifer Jhun (Duke University) will give a (remote) talk titled “Revisiting the question of reduction in economics”. #philsci. Read more about this and join the seminar here: tint-helsinki.fi/2025/03/27/7...
