Philosophy vs. Imitation Psychology Philosophy has most to contribute to the pursuit of truth by refining its own distinctive methods, not by imitating other disciplines.

williamson's recent offensive review in NDPR reminded me of his attack against Stich, knobe, nichols, me, and other experimental philosophers, years ago: We were "philosophy-hating philosophers" (I wish we would have had more support from our colleagues back then)

Thank you, @michelamassimi.bsky.social, for your kinds words and for accepting to be part of my commission! It was a huge pleasure and honour to be able to discuss with you about perspectival realism. Your book was a big part of this process, so my gratitude goes to you 😁

One nice way to celebrate submitting your dissertation is to give a presentation about it at a conference. I am grateful to everyone who supported me throughout, whether philosophically or personally.
