I am a philosopher in Vienna (working on: epistemology; philosophy of the social sciences; and "linguistic despair"). I also dabble in music (singing) and photography. Photo ©Alex Bachmayer

Re-reading Hacking on human kinds. Takes me back to the many good conversations I had with him. Our last get-together was a wonderful 3-hour lunch in Cafe Central in 2012. There he taught me that the terms "epistemology" and "agniology" were introduced by James Ferrier in 1854. R.I.P. #philosophy
