super interesting. Thanks for this thread. Philosopher of psychology here... I view folk concepts as repositories of meaning that researchers draw on when formulating operational definitions, which are I take to be tools for the exploration of the corresponding objects of research

for a technophobe like me, it's a major turn-off when I agree to review a paper and then have jump through multiple hoops to even see the paper (disable cookies, reset passwords, etc.). Seriously, I don't even know what cookies are, and I don't care to know

This looks great! And yeah: Congrats to Erkan!

But maybe what you are actually saying is that often the "major topic"-isms are simply not helpful for what you want to think about.

There are different ways to write philosophically. I agree that one should prioritize what one is trying to say rather than explicating how it fits with this or that other position. But I also like to think of philosophy as always being in a respectful dialogue with existing work

as a student in Frankfurt, I had the privilege of attending some classes taught by Habermas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I would be lying if a claimed that I understood the content or significance of his theory, but to me he personifies the German post-war public intellectual. End of an era.

I hope they all end up being prosecuted by the International Criminal Court

I assume there is no virtual option?
