Campbell Rider confirming eloquently that we need more Schelling at ISH! @campbellrider.bsky.social makes a compelling case that Schelling provides more resources to contemporary biology than Kant does, and that Schelling can be thought of as an 'organicist' 🌱🐋

In this short article for The Conversation, I look at recent claims of alien life on K2-18b, and suggest that they should be contextualised by astrobiology's long history of inconclusive results. The field’s problems might be both scientific and philosophical. #philbio @usyd-humanities.bsky.social
Scientists claim to have found evidence of alien life. But ‘biosignatures’ might hide more than they reveal
Looking at the history of ‘biosignature’ discoveries shows why they can be problematic.
