This is a fantastic paper!

To celebrate the launch of the xphi-journal and kick-off our talk series, we are happy to invite everyone to this talk by Edouard Machery. ruhr-uni-bochum.zoom-x.de/j/6780355881...

Reposting this convo with @xphilosopher.bsky.social about some evidence from conversations with participants that fits with the "truthfulness" finding in the recent Zyglewicz, Reuter, and Mandelbaum paper:

Beautiful experimental philosophy paper on what people ordinarily mean when they say that a statement is “true” Turns out it’s not always about corresponding correctly to the facts. Sometimes it’s more closely related to a moral ideal of “truthfulness” philarchive.org/archive/ZYGTJN

Hey @liao.shen-yi.org here's another new journal for your diamond open access file

It's a pleasure to argue aesthetics with @nickriggle.bsky.social!

Even with pretty extensive interventions (nearly hour long scripted conversations with participants where they were asked to explain their responses and consider disagreement) we also found it hard to find any effect: academic.oup.com/book/57562/c...

For people who like spicy

I'm interested in different methodologies in the humanities, so I wrote a review of Jonathan Kramnick's *Criticism and Truth: On Method in Literary Studies* for the British Journal of Aesthetics, which is now in an issue: philpapers.org/archive/HANC...

I agree! And sometimes you have more freedom to write a proper essay as a book review than in a peer-reviewed article.

Please share!

I think the best feature of Bluesky is the option of non-black-box algorithmic feeds. I haven't built a useful one but others have. So I want to share three that I use the most. First, Philosophy Papers by @catsaintcroix.bsky.social . Does it what it says. bsky.app/profile/cats...

Experimental philosophers: what do we do with this?

The new journal EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY will soon be accepting submissions!

Call for papers: Experimental argument analysis: Interdisciplinary perspectives on verbal reasoning. Deadline: 30 April 2026. Guest editors: Eugen Fischer and Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga. Submit your work! think.taylorandfranc... #philsoc #philpsy

amazing review essay alert! a pleasure to read, to edit, to work with @nathansen.bsky.social ✨

I wrote about two recent books that offer advice on how to pay attention to art in the midst of *gestures broadly at everything* Thanks to the awesome editors at the @mid-theory.bsky.social for their interest in this piece, they’re great to work with!

Yes, I think there have been more and more good subdiscipline open access journals. They are all worth taking seriously!! A partial list: liao.shen-yi.org/openaccess/ I've also tried to, individually, submit more to these journals.

Really enjoyed this essay J.D.! Goodreads should hire you guys to make data viz for readers—it'd be appealing to have graphs like this on profile pages

Kind of what the book I’m working on is about

Really excited to see this piece come out! Studying eclectic readers has been a fascinating and extremely rewarding challenge. We wound up operationalizing both genre and eclecticism in ways that (classic DH stuff here) point to the limits of both concepts. culturalanalytics.org/article/1429...

1/ I'm excited to share our new open‑access paper in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy (with Leda Berio, Benedict Kenyah‑Damptey, Steffen Koch & Alex Wiegmann). Part of an ongoing project in comparative philosophy of race, exploring the peculiar & often fraught dynamics of race talk in Europe.

We're delighted to welcome @kathrynbfrancis.bsky.social to the position of Senior Researcher in Moral Psychology and Design Bioethics, at the Uehiro Oxford Institute. Read more about Kathryn here: www.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/people/dr-ka... #morality #emergingtech #ethics #welcome

I was finally able to make these visualizations of what what "light", "dark" and other modifiers do to colors jofrhwld.github.io/blog/posts/2...

If you have a pain in your foot, is the pain something in your mind? Or something in your foot? Experiments from Emma Borg and colleagues indicate: People can see it either way - either as something in your mind or as something in the world Do any other concepts work in that same way?

This is an incredible dataset, and it's a lot of fun to play around with it on the Post45 site!

"Even when a term has been captured, this doesn’t need to be the end of the story. ... strategies of appropriation and collective creativity that marginalized groups have long engaged in." www.liberalcurrents.com/when-words-a... @floresophize.bsky.social and Nico Orlandi on semantic fights.

I tried to coin the phrase "footnote papers" for papers like this that people feel the need to acknowledge but don't feel the need to actually engage with.

No one can stop you from rating the likert scale

I thought this preprint was informative, if worrying. I don't think I have understood the age-period-cohort problem well, even though it's an old problem. In particular, it got me worried about the apparent time hypothesis we have been using in studying a certain kind of language change.

🔥Exciting news in experimental philosophy🔥 Very happy to announce that there will be soon a new journal named “Experimental Philosophy”. It will be open access, free of charge for authors and follow all Open Science principles. Editors and Editorial Board below. More information coming soon...

Breaking news: There will soon be a specialist journal devoted to the interdisciplinary field of EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY This will be enormously valuable to the field

"Speech" is defeating "text" (bweatherson.shinyapps.io/t20-graphs/)

I built a little Shiny app that shows how often various words were used in 20 prominent philosophy journals from 1980-2019. bweatherson.shinyapps.io/t20-graphs/

This is a job in political theory/philosophy that is specifically for someone interested in empirical work. Looks perfect for folks doing experimental philosophy

Very interesting corpus:

Forthcoming in RoPP: Are conceptual engineers right, can concepts be revised? Not settling for indirect evidence or speculation, we went right to the source and checked experimentally. philpapers.org/rec/LANCRI-3

In Malcolm Harris’s Palo Alto, there’s an anecdote about the only manuscript copy of Rawls’s A Theory of Justice almost being destroyed in an arson attack on CASBS at Stanford!

Sure. Tomorrow's stock market will be a bloodbath, and an economic depression is probably coming. But you know what you should care about right now? CONCEPTUAL INFLATION Well, lucky you. @nathansen.bsky.social and I have you covered. philpapers.org/rec/LIACIF

Cool!

Jumbly, @jdporter.bsky.social, and I have a new paper on what happens when we raise old Fodor & Lepore style criticisms of holism about distributional models of meaning (like those at work in LLMs). It turns out there's a lot of stability even in super holistic models. philpapers.org/rec/GRIDSH

This is a great opportunity for someone who works in experimental pragmatics/psychology who likes cross-country skiing and frozen pizza. The team at ifikk is also lovely.

New episode! We sit down with Dan Wack (Philosophy, Knox College) to discuss Elaine May's Mikey and Nicky! The philosophy of gangster films, friendship, masculinity, and more! Listen below: pod.link/1505648062/e...
