Gregor Betz (KIT) kicking off our "Data Driven Philosophy" Hackathon in Utrecht with his talk: "Doing Philosophy with and for LLMs". Besides input about the state of research and new directions, we're spending three days kicking off new projects.

Today I discovered a great set of BPA resources for early-career philosophers on publishing, grants/fellowships, and job apps, with loads of sample materials like cover letters, research statements, etc.

Do share with those who might find these useful!

The AfD continued its losing streak today in Germany's most populous states. In all three cities where the party had reached the runoff for mayor, it lost in a big way. In Gelsenkirchen 67-31, in Duisburg 79-21, and in Hagen 72-28.

More please!

Philosophers tend to receive most discussion late in life, typically a couple of decades after producing their most influential work. Data and analysis in blog post in comments.

Did you know Bernard Bosanquet the absolute idealist (1848-1923) was uncle of Bernard Bosanquet inventor of the googly (1877-1936)? Was reminded of this by Eric Schwitzgebel's new post on most-cited philosophers in C20. Look at Bosanquet in the 1920s

Tired of Google Scholar? Citation tracking has ruined philosophy? Do not despair, you have edhiphy!
