Andy Clark's book "Mindware: an introduction to the philosophy of cognitive science", I will give a lecture on it. Does anyone have any opinions or comments?
Autumn approaching. ๐
Professor Kevin Zollman's philosophy of science course at Tsinghua University was extremely interesting and highly rewarding.@kevinzollman.com
Lecture by professor Oscar Horta.
An interesting lecture. During the Q&A session, Professor Mark and his wife, Professor Marga, engaged in a heated discussion, which was extremely fascinating.

Day 1, about eugenics.
A very rewarding lesson.
Experience AR for the first time, super cool!๐คฉ
Annual academic meeting of HPS researchers, July 19, 2025, ๐Beijing, China.
My only question is, did Chinese men wear such boxer shorts at that time? I seriously doubt it. Hahaha.
An advertisement of an American electrotherapy device company. The left one was published in Mclaughlin in 1900, and the right one was in Shenbao five years later. The company drew the figures as men in the Qing Dynasty for the localization marketing of the electrotherapy device in China.
The lotus pond at Tsinghua University bathed in the afterglow. There is a Chinese saying, "ๆ้ฃๆๆณ็ฌๅฃฐๆฎ๏ผๅค้ณๅฑฑๅคๅฑฑ", which means that the evening breeze ruffles the willows, the flute's sound gradually fades away, and the color of the setting sun gradually fades from the mountains.
Figure 1 is a record of Ma Gaowen. The other several are advertisements of electrotherapy devices in China after that, approximately published in 1905.
I found that there were records of electrotherapy devices in China as early as 1875, introduced by the missionary, Daniel Jerome Macgowan.
yeah๏ผ It is very interesting that what we now see as pseudoscience theory provided a guarantee for his instrument sales at that time.
Because it was made in the 19th century, works on the basis of chemical primary batteries, and embedded in the cultural context at that time. Collecting and studying scientific instruments in the past is one of the directions that scholars in the history of science pay attention to at present.
I have found the book written by Charles Chardin to promote his instrument.
Wow, thank you! The information you provided is very helpful. This is the instrument collected by Tsinghua University Science Museum.
Today in Beijing, the highest temperature reached 37 degrees, making it dizzying, but the lecture was extremely wonderful!
Come to study at Peking University. โ๐ปThe lecture given by the director of the Whipple Science Museum at the University of Cambridge, on the identification of genuine and fake scientific instruments in the museum's collection.
On a sunny day after a cloudy day for a long time, I will compile a history course at night and talk about Needham's problem.
Bright summer, love nature๐บ
Is digital nematodes life?
My thesis is discussing this issue.
Cool๏ผ
Spending Dragon Boat Festival with my thesis. โน๏ธWorking on a paper about the philosophy of life science, mainly debating whether digital life counts as real life. Library is closed, only the Starbucks is open. Tired final term month.๐ตโ๐ซ
So cool! ๐
I'm doing a scientific instrument research on wet electrotherapy instrument. Any suggestions? Is this a carbon-zinc electrode? Does anyone know anything about Charles Chardin Company?
