Great conference in Bucharest. Many good papers on the philosophy of historiography and the historical sciences, and our own symposium on the topic was also very well-visited.

I'm very much looking forward to the first talk in our autumn seminar today in two weeks! We'll continue where we left off, as the last talk of our spring seminar was also on naturalism. Stay tuned for the seminar programme for autumn. We've got a great lineup again!

I just sent off the revised version of my paper on historical linguistics as a historical science. This was one of the most difficult but also rewarding papers that I ever worked on. In the past, I often emphasized (ad nauseam) that we should analyse actual pieces of historiography as a way...

I really enjoyed giving this interview, though in hindsight I could have answered a bit more precisely.

Georg Gangl @ggangl.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Finally, a draft! I've had a long-lasting interest in historical linguistics, but I have not worked on the topic until recently. Overall, historical linguistics really is an under-researched topic in philosophy of science, which is a real pity. Now, let's see if I can get this piece published.

I'm very much looking forward to this conference. We've got a great topic and lineup. Please submit an abstract if you're interested in the philosophy of the historical sciences or the philosophy of historiography (deadline: 31.08), and come to see us in November in Ostrava!

Last week, I was guest in a local podcast to speak about the philosophy of historiography and our work at the @centrephilohistory.bsky.social. I think I garbled quite a few answers but the interview should be out this week already. P.S. Now off to the INTH-conference in Tallinn.
