“One of the things I still like about economics is that it takes what people do very seriously while having minimal respect for their stated rationale for doing it. We share this tendency with psychoanalysis”. 🤯This essay is making me rethink my views on revealed preference…

A centenary special issue of Philosophy, one of the journals of @triphilosophy.bsky.social dedicated to Bernard Williams’s question of how to think about the function of philosophy. Some great looking articles! #philsky

Looking after my 97yo father in law today. To pass the time I am reading to him his own memoir. This excellent story is from his travels in Yugoslavia in 1950

worked in a citation to this podcast by @seanmcarroll.bsky.social in my book manuscript. In the actual bibliography. Feels good to cite something different! preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2021...

Several good points on the use of LLMs in philosophy: 1) our strict views on the appropriate style of writing analytic philosophy implicitly encourages LLM use, 2) It's not deskilling that's a worry but the loss of process, 3) especially of the social ideal of philosophy as "showing up". #philsky

New article from Leah McClimans in the Studies in #HPS on whether patients-reported constructs are measurable. Interesting criticism of myself and Hausman on whether heterogeneity within a construct is an obstacle to measurement. She argues it isn’t. Open to the idea… #philsci

When a phenomenon is urgent and concerning can a responsible scientist devise a concept specifically to foreground this concern? Shiri Cohen argues yes and makes a compelling case on how it would interact with validity, causal utility and other more familiar criteria #philsci #polisci

MA Khalidi is characteristically level-headed and clear in this paper on the relevance of Israeli occupation of Palestine to psychiatric aetiology

This review of an objectively great book (by my man😍) is especially nice for emphasising the aesthetic dimension of fragility with some great metaphors. Thank you @adrian-currie.bsky.social #philsci

SEP finally covers #psychotherapy (what counts as one, how it should be evaluated, relation to #wellbeing and #mentalhealth, nature of its expertise). Important work by @plutynski.bsky.social and Megan Delehanty #philsky #ethics #philmed
