#philpapers — Public Fediverse posts

My M.A. thesis, "Citing Silences: Finding a History 'Outside' the Archive," is available open access on PhilArchive. It argues that silences produced by Euro-Western historiography in the service of white supremacy can be cited in ways that force the archive to acknowledge its own violence — developing the concept of the "hauntological irrealis."

I've been rejected again. Should I get a PhD?

People tend to look at peer-reviewed journals as a sign of credibility. I've not written about the nonsense of peer review, but these are unadulterated gatekeeping mechanisms antithetical to knowledge dissemination.

@[email protected] I'm about to delete my account there. I think #philpapers is enough.

My first ever paper on #philpapers:

Algebraic Emergence

https://philpapers.org/rec/EGRAED

It is also the first that is somehow not making it to @arXiv, being on hold for weeks.

New preprint #PhilPapers https://bit.ly/3RqzIbs: I discussed phronesis (practical wisdom) models based on neuro + psych research, esp. the network-natured brain functionality. Also referred to recent works in consciousness, e.g., the Integrated Information Theory (#IIT).

Proposed points: 1. the multifaceted nature of phronesis (consisting of multiple functionalities); and, 2. the interconnectivity, interaction, and coordination among the functionalities for sophisticated phronesis.

I'm annoyed that the #philpapers survey didn't have a question on the interpretation of probability. Is that not something people currently care about much? Any guesses on what the split might be these days? @philosophy #philosophy

Archival copies of my essays are now available via #PhilPapers: https://philpeople.org/profiles/andrew-milward

Always happy about #Philpapers sending out emails with lists of recent publications.

Today, there was a little treasure in my #PhilosophyOfArt stack.

Acoustemologies in contact: Sounding Subjects and Modes of Listening in Early Modernity

Read into it, and it is great. It should be of interest to scholars of world cultures, music, and sound, but also colleagues with interest in #Listening (#Glanville #Cybernetics) or #DeepListening
