Screenshot of the article header from the European Journal for Philosophy of Science titled “Experiment and the pursuit of ugly models” by Martin King. The header indicates it is a paper in philosophy of the natural sciences. The DOI is https://doi.org/10.1007/s13194-025-00692-y
Physicists have long been enamored with “beautiful” models—but this seems to have changed in high-energy physics. In his new paper, Martin King argues that experimental contexts strongly determine the pursuitworthiness of “ugly models” 👇📃 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics #HPS

The image is a promotional announcement for a new academic article titled "Pure Shape Dynamics, Self-Subsisting Structures, and the Nature of Time" by Antonio Vassallo and Pedro Naranjo, published in the Journal for General Philosophy of Science. The design consists of a white background with black and yellow text. On the right side, there is a highlighted section in a yellow box with the abstract of the article. At the bottom, another yellow section includes the journal's cover and a citation with a DOI link: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10838-024-09690-9
What might be the potential ramifications of the relational framework of 'Pure Shape Dynamics' for discussions on the metaphysics of #time? This is a question that Antonio Vassallo & Pedro Naranjo explore in their recent article for JGPS! 👇📃 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics

This seems like a physicists’ rendering of McTaggart’s regress. There is no point from which we can observe #spacetime independently of it, so to speak, so we can never know if #time began. #PhilSci #PhilPhysics

Picture of the abstract of the article "The Evolution of the Bell Notion of Beable: From Bohr to Primitive Ontology" by Federico Laudisa, published in the Journal for General Philosophy of Science.
John S. Bell proposed the notion of ‘beable’ to replace ‘observable’ for a clearer formulation of quantum mechanics. In his new article, Federico Laudisa (University of Trento) argues that Bell actually developed 𝘵𝘸𝘰 distinct beable theories 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics
Abstract of the article "Questioning the Emergence of Time" by Peter J. Riggs published at the Journal for General Philosophy of Science.
Are there problems with the so-called "Evolving Block Universe" model that accounts for the emergence of spacetime? In a new discussion note, Peter J. Riggs argues that it has issues defining 'present moment' and the 'passage of time' 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics
Abstract of the article "Adynamism in Physics: The Block Universe vs Barbour’s Relational Strategy" by Emilia Margoni in the Journal for General Philosophy of Science.
Could dynamism and adynamism be reconciled under a block universe view? What does 'adynamism' even mean for relativistic physics? For thought-provoking discussions, check out the new article by Emilia Margoni in the pages of JGPS! link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics #philsky
Abstract of the article "Structural Realism About the Free Energy Principle, the Best of Both Worlds" by Majid D. Beni.
Many debates about the Free Energy Principle (FEP) have emerged, including realist & antirealist interpretations of it. In his new article, Majid Beni makes the case for a structural realist characterization of the FEP 📝👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics #philcogsci #philsky
Do we need laws or dispositions in our ontological picture of nature? In a new #OpenAccess #philphysics article, Joanna Luc contends that law-based accounts are better than disposition-based accounts, offering greater informativeness & theoretical virtues #philsci 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1...
