Thrilled that my ‘Perspectival Realism’ @OUPPhilosophy won 2023 Lakatos Award 🥳 As a #firstgen academic, this milestone is in memory of my father and my grandparents 💕. Their situated artisanal know-how about olive oil producing and beekeeping run deep as a theme in the book.
👏Congratulations to Michela Massimi (@p_realism) - Winner of the Lakatos Award 2023 for her book ‘Perspectival Realism’ All about the award: https://t.co/6Y6ADGwRXa
