I've nearly finished this book.
(It has been a very busy 8 months in which i've also read very many other things.)
But I would recommend it!
Or most of it. Maybe skip the middle third, & hold your nose when he talks about sex...

ABSTRACT. Much of the literature on values in science is framed around the idea of a shift in the status of the so-called value-free ideal (VFI) for science: having been widely accepted in the past, it has now come to be thoroughly rejected. Instead, the commonly asserted view now is that there is a new problem for philosophy of science to address, namely, distinguishing appropriate from inappropriate value-influence on science. While understanding the many intricate ways that values can influence science is an important task for philosophy, we argue that this framing—that there is a single phenomenon to be understood or a single problem to be solved—is misleading and liable to distort inquiry. This framing creates a chimera.

Cool! One of the topics of our #philsci 2 course, which I am progressively spending less tie on. Maybe mistakenly, but I think this topic is a bit boring. I prefer to spend time on causal inference. Tell me I'm wrong!
Getting in the mood to teach #philsci 2 on Monday, by browsing Rosenberg‘s textbook which is one of my faves.

It’s hard to take one’s mind off the world events today, but here is something to distract you maybe. My paper Science Without Trust is now officially published. #philsci
I have a new paper out in Biology & Philosophy where I explore the overlap between the philosophy of measurement and ancestry in human population genetics. Very grateful to the philosophers & scientists who encouraged me to write this up!

I'm looking forward to it. Great comments from diverse perspectives by Villegas, Elliott-Graves, and Skillings. Conference info: apaonline.org/2026pacific#APAPacific26. There's a pinned thread on the book at my profile. #philsci #hpbio #philsky #evolution #ecology #symbiosis #causation #probability
I recently discovered that I’m the only one in the #birder community both taking a flâneur approach to the whole thing, and, importantly, using pataphysics as both a method of inquiry and as a taxonomy.

Arguments were good. People hadn’t yet thought of instrumentation that way in philosophy of science. Computational methods weren’t really understood as particularly interesting until recently in #philsci except for a few exceptions. AI has made them inescapable.

Some of us in philosophy of science have been concerned abt this wrt computational methods for almost three decades (before AI) without anyone really listening. The Epistemic opacity in scientific computer simulations literature started bc of this concern. Glad people are catching up.
