My contribution examines Hacking’s styles of scientific reasoning in relation to Foucault’s archaeology of discourse, focusing on the shift from positivity to truthfulness. I argue the transition is not merely terminological. Happy to share a pre-print!
I’m *very* excited to announce that the special issue of The Monist that I co-edited with Paul Roth is finally out!
It includes my new paper alongside a fantastic set of contributions.

Happy (and humbled) to see my work cited in Paolo Mancosu’s newly revised SEP entry on Mathematical Style:
plato.stanford.edu/entries/math...
The entry is a wonderful - and now classic - overview of how “style” has been used in mathematics and philosophy.
