🚨New article with Darryl Cressman in Techné:

“The Philosophy of Technology is more than Technology: Towards a Framework for the History of the Philosophy of Technology”

The starting point is simple question: what does it mean to write history of philosophy of technology?

Now you can buy "Otto Neurath in Britain" cheaply as a paperback!

if you are hesitating why to do that, here is a review from Ivan F. da Cunha in Metascience! I am grateful for that!

READ THIS, and then call or write to your representatives, the governor, the UMN President and Regents. And vote in November for people who will fund higher ed. If you don't live in MN, this is happening or is going to happen to your public university soon.

I'm honored to deliver the 2027 Gifford Lectures at Edinburgh. Across 6 lectures, On Science, Technology, and Social Values, I will work through the claim that what we build and how we put it to use carry commitments about who counts and what matters in collective life cahss.ed.ac.uk/news-events/...

"The story about the analytic turn is more complicated than the McCarthyist thesis suggests..."

@sanderverhaegh.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 12:05 PM

Is US analytic philosophy a product of McCarthyism?


In this blog ⬇️, I return to the archival material I studied for my book (departmental records, correspondence, newspapers, personnel files) and argue that the answer is ‘no’.

The first item in our Fall issue is a note from HOPOS Editor Matthew J. Brown, looking back on the first 16 years of the HOPOS Journal. He talks about the founding of the journal, some of the early articles, and how far we’ve come. Brown also discusses some exciting upcoming changes to the journal.

1/ 🧵 The history of the philosophy of experimentation isn't really just a history of what philosophers have said about experiments.

In a new #HOPOS paper, I argue that it is also a history of what philosophers thought philosophy of science itself was *for*.

❗️A bunch of really cool papers that puts the discourse on values in science in historical perspective. Étienne Raduly and myself wrote chapter 10 on the philosophy of Charles W. Morris: “Value as Meaning and as Behavior” 🦫🦫🦫
