Many thanks to the editors for giving us the opportunity to publish alongside such a stellar line-up of contributors! This paper dates back to when I worked on Newton with Dana Jalobeanu during my Master's degree, so thank you to everyone who helped shape this paper's trajectory from its early days.

Daian Bica & Markus Schrenk, A Modal-Exploratory Understanding of Newton's Experimental Philosophy and his Theory of Laws of Nature - PhilPapers This essay investigates Newton's thoughts on laws of nature. First, we argue that Newton’s experimental-philosophical methodology of hypotheses and queries exhibits a modal-exploratory nature. Second,...

Newton's queries about aether and laws of nature were of a deeply exploratory nature, or so Markus Schrenk and I argue in a recent joint paper, soon to be published in a volume edited by Vanessa Seifert, Stathis Psillos, and Stavros Ioannidis.

Philosophy vs. Imitation Psychology Philosophy has most to contribute to the pursuit of truth by refining its own distinctive methods, not by imitating other disciplines.

williamson's recent offensive review in NDPR reminded me of his attack against Stich, knobe, nichols, me, and other experimental philosophers, years ago: We were "philosophy-hating philosophers" (I wish we would have had more support from our colleagues back then)

Many, many thanks for everything! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed reading the thesis 🙏

Thank you, @michelamassimi.bsky.social, for your kinds words and for accepting to be part of my commission! It was a huge pleasure and honour to be able to discuss with you about perspectival realism. Your book was a big part of this process, so my gratitude goes to you 😁

I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this!

Thanks a lot, @michelamassimi.bsky.social! Your kind words mean a lot to me. EPSA was indeed the perfect place to spread the message!😁

Thank you very much, @oscarw.bsky.social ! We'll definitely find another opportunity to catch up.

One nice way to celebrate submitting your dissertation is to give a presentation about it at a conference. I am grateful to everyone who supported me throughout, whether philosophically or personally.
