1/2 Team member @jakobortmann.bsky.social has a new publication out in @philscijournal.bsky.social : "But what is 'Performativity of Science'? Austin, Perlocutionary Sequels, and Referent Malleability." philpapers.org/rec/ORTBWI

Really glad this point has supporters. Frustration on specifically this is what initially drew me to philsci as a profession, and holds me there still. Lack of collective action is rarely inevitable, and the tragedy of the commons is just the wrong game. Dangerous game.

Super happy this paper got accepted for 'Philosophy of Science'! Its an attempt of reconciling speech act theory and STS in a way thats hopefully helpful to philosophers of science and controversies in values in science. #philsci #philsky #HPS @mapsproject.bsky.social philpapers.org/rec/ORTBWI

Incredibly stoked to welcome 12 talented young economists and philosophers this week for our phil-econ-model-lab.org. We're trying a different workshop format: online talks before meetup, then collaborative sessions in person. Will follow up with results, first day was extremely promising.

Our team member, PhD candidate Murat Bakeev, spoke today at an online session of the Phil-Econ-Model-Lab (PEM-L). This workshop, funded by INEM, aims to promote collaboration among early-career scholars, with a particular focus on analyzing the role of value judgments in economic modeling.

New paper "Endogenous Preferences, Environmental Economics, and Welfare" accepted at Politics, Philosophy & Economics. In it, I argue for how we should address endogenous preferences in the welfare assessment of large-scale policy interventions (e.g., a carbon tax). Penultimate version here👇

Last Monday, Kevin Elliot gave a talk on "Revisiting Values and Science Through the Lens of Reflexive Performativity," which is a paper in collaboration with MAPS team member @jakobortmann.bsky.social.

Here is a quick thought: The new NATO 5% spending goal may not sound like too much, but its actually much more than we would have needed to fix climate change (estimates from 2018) - see chart below.

⏳Deadline approaching! Know any early-career scholars working on philosophy of econ or values in science? Please consider forwarding them our call for proposals at phil-econ-model-lab.org. We are assembling a group of young scholars to collaborate at the cutting-edge of these topics #philsi #econ

We are pleased to invite you to the MAPS Symposium, taking place on June 4 and 5, 2025, at Koniglicher Pferdestall. Attendance is free and open to all. We have a great lineup! Join us for two days of engaging discussions and critical reflections.

My Performative Paternalism paper is out now - looking forward to hear your thoughts, concerns, and whatnot. Its an attempt of cashing out some of the ethical / political issues surrounding performativity of science that seem really important, yet underdeveloped in the current literature.

Delighted to share my first contribution to the @mapsproject.bsky.social project got accepted for publication in the EJPS! It revises epistemic & normative arguments reg. performativity of science (e.g. self-fulfilling prophecies), and reaches an uncomfortable conclusion: performative paternalism!

Today I learned that at some point our department wasn’t allowed to have any books bc books are a fire hazard. Funny enough to ban books at a uni, but I wish they said the same thing about all the paper forms they make us print, fill and sign (and then of course scan again).

Happy to share a new paper of mine got accepted by Synthese! philpapers.org/archive/ORTO...

CfP: What is the appropriate role of climate economics in decision-making and climate policy? What role do value judgments play in its models and methods? How does it relate to other disciplines? If you have answers, submit them to our topical collection for the EJPS: philsci.eu/Phil-Climate...

Busy here discussing a great paper by @inkerikoskinen.bsky.social on the intersection of social epistemology and AI in science! Recommend: doi.org/10.1080/0269...
