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)

Seventy years ago citation practices in British analytic philosophy were like this: “I was assured in the senior common room by Professor Austin that Hume does indeed say this somewhere.”

Short on time but burning to know why Moore seems oblivious to the question-begging nature of his 'proof' of an external world? Well, look no further. Complete with a high-res image of archival material I went through way too much trouble to get. newworkinphilosophy.substack.com/p/louis-doul...

My commentary on Michael Bergmann’s book is now out! I raise some concerns for his intuition-based methodology and somehow manage to connect his view to one of my favorite early analytic texts, Friedrich Waismann’s “How I See Philosophy” (Secs. 1 & 4 of my paper). philpapers.org/go.pl?aid=DO...

Looks like this volume on Mary Hesse edited by Pietro Gori is now published! If you were at #HOPOS in Vienna and went to the various talks and symposium on Hesse, you'll recognize some chapters. I wrote one on Hesse's early work (1952-1961) on scientific language. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

A few months ago @nglaskowski.bsky.social posted about philosopher Mary Evelyn Clarke. It seems not much is known about her. So, I did some digging—this PDF is what I’ve found so far (sadly, not much). If you know more, or spot any errors, I’d love to hear from you! www.louisdoulas.info/MEC.pdf

You're a professor and can't get your students to do the readings you upload? Skill issue.

Moore’s proof strikes almost everyone as circular. Yet, Moore appears curiously indifferent to this worry—what gives? My paper, “Moore’s Fourth Condition,” forthcoming in the Journal of the History of Philosophy, draws on unpublished archival evidence to provide some answers. tinyurl.com/2c48txr9
