Spending a most enjoyable morning in a workshop on tapestry weaving at the fabulous Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh and I spotted in the shop a book with this tapestry of the cantilever model of the Forth Bridge, which reminded me of @msuarez.bsky.social book 😊

How can you still have an article on this topic that doesn't mention once that cuttlefish are sentient beings that feel pain, plan for the future, remember specific events, learn and strategise? They're more than a mass noun. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I recommend James' review of my book even if I disagree strongly with the final critical point, which I think misses the point of any deflationary view. Yet, it is careful enough to merit a response, which I hope to publish reasonably soon.

I don't advocate judging a book by its cover (well - except my own books), so people should read the review. But this is a great cover - it shows people demonstrating the basic principles behind a cantilever bridge, which for reasons the cover makes clear is particularly relevant around these parts.

My main interaction with Michael Friedman over the years involved bringing him to Spain as a keynote speaker for the founding conference of EPSA in Madrid in 2007. He was a fantastically fit first keynote for a European version of the Philosophy of Science Association.

I have been remembering Katherine Hawley while checking literature on trust these days. Here's my brief remembrance of her: katherinehawley.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2021/05/06/f... Reading through the other memorials, she was clearly much loved and appreciated.

Since moving to Aberdeen, I've noticed that Thomas Reid's underrecognised. Born in Aberdeenshire, he studied and taught at the UoA, yet only a humble plaque marks his legacy. While David Hume boasts an impressive statue on the Royal Mile there's not even a street in Reid's memory. #Philosophy #Scot
