Three cheers Greg Radick for being awarded the 2026 Wilkins-Bernal-Medawar Medal and Lecture by the Royal Society! Don't know Greg's work? This is a fun place to start! (p.s. the award is for excellence in a subject relating to the history/philosophy of science or the social function of science.

NEW For the first time, researchers have identified the name of a #Maya 'mathematician-astronomer', enabling us to place an Indigenous Maya scholar amongst the ranks of other great astronomers from history. Read the new research 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Edinburgh via history/philosophy of science eyes! Safe to say the National Museum of Scotland has reached their target audience with the Dolly the Sheep pen. And the largest of shoutouts to @neurathic.bsky.social for spotting the Huxley book for me.

In my field, most senior specialists seem to be trying to create a huge protect that changes the way we understand colonial Latin America. I would argue we need the opposite: more local and regional history, with a look out always, but cemented in a community and territory.

Just accepted: Situated Cognition in Early Modern Experimentation: The Case of Compelled Assent — Kirsten Walsh, Adrian Currie & Tom Roberts Abstract in alt text or read the full paper here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #philsci #philsky #hps

ABSTRACT. The early moderns surely didn’t defend an embodied, extended, embedded, or enacted conception of the mind, but we aim to show that this perspective can make sense of some of their practices; in particular, the epistemology of early modern experimentation. Focusing on Newton’s early optical work, we argue that the epistemic warrant he claims for his experimental results turns crucially on how the experimenter is situated towards gaining particular kinds of maker’s knowledge. Our account provides one answer to a long-standing puzzle regarding Newton’s method: his appeal to ‘compelled assent’ as an epistemic standard. We thus provide both a novel interpretation of Newton’s epistemology and a proof of concept towards applying tools from contemporary philosophy of mind to the history of science.

A little while ago I took a stab at translating an article by Feyerabend on ecology. It doesn't seem like it had been translated into English before. The translation might still need some work, but you can find it here: open.substack.com/pub/neurathi...

open.substack.com

10.07.25 English translation of P.K. Feyerabend's "How Wrong is the Philosopher's Ecology"

This is a translation into English from the Spanish version of the article, which was produced by Antonio Elizalde.
