🎙️ New HPS Pod!

I regret to information the Bluesky philosophy community that Michael Friedman, noted philosopher of science and ground-breaking historian of Kant, neo-Kantianism, and logical positivism has died. May his memory be a blessing. #philsci

1/ 🧵 The history of the philosophy of experimentation isn't really just a history of what philosophers have said about experiments.

In a new #HOPOS paper, I argue that it is also a history of what philosophers thought philosophy of science itself was *for*.

A good day for the Ghent HOPOS-tradition (I take the liberty of considering @masssimons.bsky.social as part of that tradition, I don't think he will mind?)
14/END

And finally: I am perhaps even more proud that my article is in the same issue as the fabulous article that @mvandyck.bsky.social wrote on Bas van Fraassen his constructive empiricism - definitely also work checking out!

Editing my book (forthcoming, De Gruyter!), found that I’d quoted Dilthey complaining in a letter to his publisher (Walter de Gruyter!) about being exhausted and unable to meet his deadlines. Very pleased with this.

"Wilfrid Sellars and Constructive Empiricism" by John Dougherty, in the latest issue of #HOPOS.
"Wilfred Sellars appears in The Scientific Image as one of van Fraassen’s primary realist opponents...little attention has been paid to Sellars’s influence on constructive empiricism and van Fraassen’s criticisms of Sellarsian realism."
