Science denialism extends beyond flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers, infiltrating fields like #history, #economics and #philosophy. For instance, #marxism does not meet today's scientific standards in any aspect, and even Lakatos, once a Marxist/Stalinist, later questioned its scientific status. #phisci

"Sur le rôle de l’expérience, est-ce que vous connaissez un texte que j’adore, qui est la controverse entre le mathématicien René Thom (médaille Fields en 1958) et le physicien Anatole Abragam, à l’Académie ? Cette controverse a été extraordinaire.

Misinformation Nation Myths, media, and manipulation and the post-truth present

Post-truth thrives because it offers meaning, identity & belonging. If we want to counter it, we need to offer something better—something worth believing in. @geographers.bsky.social @americangeo.bsky.social #GeoSky #SocialPsyc #PhiSci #PsychSciSky

Once we understand qualia science and our true self, the realm of consciousness [...], we, as participants, will become the co-creators of the universe. ~ Deepak Chopra

 Ainsi Nicolas Lemery déplore que trop de substances empruntent leur nom a la couleur car « les couleurs n'ont rien de réel » et ne peuvent donc être un attribut essentiel des substances . La conception cartésienne des qualités sensibles, reprise par Boyle et Kunckel, retentit dans leurs critiques à I'égard des noms de substances évoquant la couleur, l'odeur, la saveur. Ce n’est pas la couleur mais la composition qui déterminent les propriétés chimiques d’un corps.

I miss lively discussions on #philosophy of #science #phisci.

An Introduction to the Process Theory of Causation The process theory of causation represents one major account amongst all relevant causal theories today. Its main idea is to give up on the “traditional view” of causation, spelled out roughly by “eve...

Random thought: it's striking, that the most "physical" interpretation of Causality leaves the most room for the metaphysical questions, what it actually*is*.

science created the modern world and with it Western geopolitical dominance; anyone who wanted to understand how modernity came about and how to deal with its challenges must therefore understand the history of science

science created the modern world and with it Western geopolitical dominance; anyone who wanted to understand how modernity came about and how to deal with its challenges must therefore understand the history of science

A powerful reflection by Lorraine Daston on the entangled roots of modernity and science. To understand today's world, we must confront the history of science and its role in shaping Western dominance.
From 'The History of Science and the History of Knowledge' (2017).

How to Not Secure Public Trust in Science: Representative Values Versus Polarization and Marginalization | Philosophy of Science | Cambridge Core How to Not Secure Public Trust in Science: Representative Values Versus Polarization and Marginalization - Volume 91 Issue 5

My 2024 article is now out in print with pages and stuff. #phisci #philsky
I challenge the view that value influence is legitimate iff the intruding values are democratic. Appealing to democratic values doesn't secure legitimacy because of at least two obstacles: polarization and marginalization.
