I don't say "public philosophy" or "applied philosophy" because both seem to be trying to carve out a 2nd tier status for what is in fact our discipline at its best, doing what it's always done - speaking to people about questions that matter.

Team member @becklukas.bsky.social presented "On the Diversity of Models in Normative Inquiry" at the #BSPS2025

It was such a great conference, thank you, @mapsproject.bsky.social team!

We are pleased to invite you to the MAPS Symposium, taking place on June 4 and 5, 2025, at Koniglicher Pferdestall. Attendance is free and open to all. We have a great lineup! Join us for two days of engaging discussions and critical reflections.

I think the thing people are missing about Trump’s plan is that, while we have to go through some short term pain, in exchange we will get long term pain.

In collaboration with Luca Congiu (University of Rome Tor Vergata), we are conducting an experimental study to test whether presenting probabilities pictorially reduces the prevalence of choice patterns in line with the Allais paradox.

Congratulations to my spouse who is now a certified expert in strategic behavior and manipulation in collective decision-making 🥳
This is great, right? 😅

The great conference (my very first one!) is in Atlanta this year. Send ‘papers on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences, especially those that tackle philosophical issues as they arise in, and are consequential for, practicing social scientists’. Abstracts by Dec 15th! #philsci #philsky

No one likes a poorly attended inauguration... so please join me in London or online on 3 Dec for my inaugural lecture, "The Edge of Sentience". www.lse.ac.uk/Events/2024/...

@henrikthoren.bsky.social, Dominic Lenzi and I are looking forward to your submissions.
Deadline: 28.02.2025

CfP: What is the appropriate role of climate economics in decision-making and climate policy? What role do value judgments play in its models and methods? How does it relate to other disciplines?
If you have answers, submit them to our topical collection for the EJPS: philsci.eu/Phil-Climate...

I designed a lecture course on measurement that I will teach at Cambridge in Spring 25 and, in extended form, at Boston University in Fall 25 (drive.google.com/file/d/1w3QE...). t focuses on perennial problems (quantification, scales, evidence) and methods. Happy about feedback. #philsci #philsky
