Academia often values output over insight. 'Publish or perish' pushes researchers to produce papers, not necessarily understanding. Careers hinge on visibility, not depth. Are we producing meaningful science—or just counting publications?

Just finished this, another great recent introduction to logical empiricism, The Vienna Circle by Sahotra Sarkar. Very accessible, but also goes into the technical bits regularly #jesuispositivist #philsci

Taking a break from doomscrolling to tell you that this conference, which I've been helping to organize with wonderful colleagues from @histanthro.bsky.social and Yale, is taking place a week from today. I'm looking forward to some great conversations and being back in New Haven.

I brought to Edinburgh a book by Ricardo J. Gómez (1935 - 2024) that I bought six years ago without knowing that it was so good (although UNQ publishes excellent books and translations in #philsci).

A compelling new book has been released on philosophers' migration to the US around WWII (broader than Reisch's monograph, whose author contributes here beside Katzav, Misak, and Neuber, among others) 👌 #PhilSci

His individualist approach is fundamentally mistaken as is his idea of what individuals do. Fleck was FAR more realistic. @naomioreskes.bsky.social explains this very well in "Why Trust Science," and in my author interview with her: www.salon.com/2019/10/13/w....
