In the 1930s, a group of European philosophers fled fascism and reshaped American philosophy. Why did logical positivism have such an impact on US thought? And why did it play a central role in the culture wars of the 1950s and 1960s? Released today! Logical Positivism: An American History (1/3)

As philosophy rushes to claim expertise on AI, AI companies rush to control the philosophical narrative. Unlike other disciplines, philosophy has no standards for reporting conflicts of interest. This petition endeavors to change that: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The AfD continued its losing streak today in Germany's most populous states. In all three cities where the party had reached the runoff for mayor, it lost in a big way. In Gelsenkirchen 67-31, in Duisburg 79-21, and in Hagen 72-28. More please!

Philosophers tend to receive most discussion late in life, typically a couple of decades after producing their most influential work. Data and analysis in blog post in comments.
Articles mentioning JME McTaggart, by year 1890-1980 in Edhiphy.  Note peak in the late 1930s. McTaggart's most influential publication was in 1908.

Did you know Bernard Bosanquet the absolute idealist (1848-1923) was uncle of Bernard Bosanquet inventor of the googly (1877-1936)? Was reminded of this by Eric Schwitzgebel's new post on most-cited philosophers in C20. Look at Bosanquet in the 1920s schwitzsplinters.blogspot.com/2024/11/phil...
