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.

It’s so great that you were able to come to Japan! And thanks so much for your question!

Teru Miyake @terumiyake.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of days!

Teru Miyake @terumiyake.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

It was a true privilege to read it!

1st-ever symposium on philosophy of seismology: @alisabokulich.bsky.social on Peircean abduction & inverse modelling, @terumiyake.bsky.social on 'problem of the missing model' in seismology, optics, and thermal physics; @cristianlarph.bsky.social on quantification in seismology (joint work with me).

I'll write up my own tribute once the PSA craziness is over.

Teru Miyake @terumiyake.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Thanks! Yeah, that was fun! George and I spent a month together at Stanford doing those lectures. At one point George and I were going to try to put a book together based on them, but the pandemic kind of killed the momentum on that.

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...

direct.mit.edu

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...

Yeah, that’s right, I was thinking that myself after I posted it. George didn’t think much of that quote anyway. He thought it might be a veiled insult to Hooke.

Dammit, George would absolutely hate being compared to Newton like this! Sorry George!

My talk at the symposium will certainly mention him extensively. All of my work is just trying to push forward things that he started. Giants and shoulders and all of that…

Thanks! Yes, I think I will do that but I need some time to write it up.

Teru Miyake @terumiyake.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

All the more reason to complete the work as George envisioned.

Teru Miyake @terumiyake.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

I don’t know what to say. He was my teacher, my friend, an exemplar. I am going to write something up and post it somewhere.

Thanks for posting this photo with me right next to George!

This philosopher of geoscience would like to join.

Thanks for the shoutout! Yes, Gordon’s paper was indeed inspired by some of my early work on inverse problems in seismology. Some of that material eventually made it into my “Uncertainty and Modeling in Seismology”, in Reasoning in Measurement, 2017, Moessner and Nordmann, eds.

Congrats! I learned so much reading it!

Delighted that our PSA'24 Symposium Proposal on "Philosophy of Seismology: Models & Measurements" with @cristianlarph.bsky.social, @miguelohn.bsky.social, @terumiyake.bsky.social, & Susan Hough has been accepted for presentation in New Orleans in Nov. Great to see philosophy of geosciences growing!

Yes, I know about your paper on stellar structure models, as well as your earlier work on models, of course. The admiration is mutual!

Teru Miyake @terumiyake.bsky.social · 03/12/2023

Sure! If you send me an email, I can send a copy to you. You can find my email on my website www.terumiyake.com
