Non-empirical Theory Confirmation in Fundamental Physics

New upcoming talks. See here.

New publication: “Philosophical Expertise Put to the Test”, forthcoming in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy. See Publications for more details.

On Sept 24th, I will defend my “higher doctoral dissertation” (roughly equivalent to a habilitation / second book).

Prof. Stathis Psillos and Prof. James Ladyman will be my “opponents”.

It looks as though the defense will be streamed online. Please contact me if you are interested in attending.

See the poster for more details.
