>>12204838Pretty cool imo. It’s been a long time, but I remember liking that book a lot. I remember not totally disagreeing with how vehemently he bent towards “whatever works, works” tho. Such a shame the work with Lakatos couldn’t be completed
I have to say I think you’ll have more luck on lit. Very few people here are actual STEM grad students or even competent undergrad students, and among the ones that are, almost none of them actually read anything outside of their own fields and actively look down on humanities (which is insane to me). Lit has a few of smart philosophy people, many of whom must be grad students, lurking. If you start an interesting dialogue they’ll pop in. Idk about phil science but I had much better discussions there than I’ve ever had on sci. They have a continental bent, but there some phil sci/analytic people.
They won’t have the perspective that a scientist with a background in philosophy will, but eh.
