So happy to be part of this 2-days conference with people who really care about the history of philosophy and psychology in America! Perfectly organised with no parallel sessions by Matthias Neuber, this first day was a blast ✨

❗️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” 🦫🦫🦫
