Many thanks to *you* Daian for your attentive and nuanced engagement with this topic. Truly impressive to see a PhD thesis that - rather than going usually modular in chapters structure - takes on a very difficult philosophical task and carries it through chapter by chapter with analytical rigor. 👏👏

Many congrats to Dr @daianbica.bsky.social for a brilliant PhD defence of a fascinating PhD thesis on Perspectival realism and a Perspectival account of Lewis’s Best System Analysis of laws — in the words of Daian’s intro ‘friends of epistemic humility, let us all unite!’ 👏👏

First international congress of the Chilean Society for Philosophy of Science starts tomorrow in Valparaíso. So grateful to the colleagues for the invitation to give the first plenary of this amazing new initiative. Among the barrage of dreadful news, it is heartening to see initiatives such as this
