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.

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

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.
Day 3 on Bluesky: found lots of interesting #politics conversations, political humor galore even if sometimes mean-spirited, quite some #art and #photography, some #spirituality.
I miss lively discussions on #philosophy of #science #phisci.
I love how people seek new connections and friendship 👏👍

The only reliable definition of death is the absence of life. And the only reliable definition of life is the absence of death.

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).

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.
