@sabinaleonelli.bsky.social gives a fantastic talk on how not to understand the idea of open science qua unlimited use / access to commodified knowledge and data — contrasting the legacy of Popper’s view of open society with Bergson’s ‘humane openness’ at the Bohr’s conference in Copenhagen.

The Bohr Open World conference kicks off with Frank von Hippel remembering the kindness of the Bohr family in hosting his family on the way out of Nazi Germany and on the 1972 US-Soviet Treaty for the control of ballistic missiles and following Gorbachev’s move in nuclear arms control.

Fascinating morning visiting the Niels Bohr Archive - with Bohr’s handwritten diagram of the atom, a model of the box used in the 1930 Solvay debate with Einstein, and even Bohr’s pipe still smelling of tobacco! 🤩

I will be celebrating World Philosophy Day this week by giving a talk in Copenhagen on the profound influence of Kierkegaard’s philosophy on Niels Bohr’s view on the nature of physical reality and the ideal of an open world in his 1950 letter to the UN. Part of this conference openworld.ku.dk/ow25/

This is tomorrow — the first day last week was excellent. Look forward to tomorrow’s programme with thanks to @eenphilsci.bsky.social for the organisation.👇
