There's about a month left to submit something to the Asian Philosophy of Science Association's inaugural conference! Consider submitting an abstract, and encouraging early-career scholars (especially those from or based in Asia) to submit an essay for the APSA Essay Prize.

Trying to get my thoughts together about the passing of George Smith. He didn't publish a lot, but everything he did put out there deserves to be read more by philosophers. Like this one, with Jed Buchwald, trying to take head-on Kuhn's incommensurability thesis: direct.mit.edu/posc/article...

Incommensurability and the Discontinuity of Evidence

Abstract. Incommensurability between successive scientific theories—the impossibility of empirical evidence dictating the choice between them—was Thomas Kuhn's most controversial proposal. Toward defe...

I am incredibly honored to be a contributor to this volume. I can't convey here how much George Smith has meant to me as a teacher, collaborator, and friend. Check out the intro to the volume, particularly the end of it, which is on George's teaching.
