And then one morning a mail in your inbox says: your book has been published. This book means a lot to me and the people to be thanked are so many that I would not know where to start. You know who you are. ❤️.

". da quello di una grammatica wittgensteiniana, in cui gli usi definiscono i significati via via che ci si incontra con il mondo).".

". e ricostruirla significa osservare le strategie adattive di Homo sapiens a un ambiente che lo sfida e che non cessa di modificare (si noti che il gioco machiano dell’adattamento delle idee ai fatti e delle idee tra loro non è diverso. ".

". la voce ‘epistemologia storica’ si possa rubricare un solo scritto di Gargani, nemmeno il più ‘storico’ – ma se ne vedono distintamente i tratti per così dire stilistici. Per Mach, la storia della scienza e della tecnica è parte della più ampia storia evolutiva umana. ".

"In ciò si intravede un sottofondo, che è anche un sottotesto del libro di Vagelli, cioè il tentativo (non solo di Vagelli) di associare Gargani alla tradizione di una certa epistemologia storica, che vede in Ernst Mach il suo capostipite. Per inciso, non crediamo che sotto. ".

Mi fa molto piacere trovare la recensione del mio "Pensare Wittgenstein" (ECF 2024) nell'ultimo numero del Giornale critico della filosofia italiana. Grazie Luca Guzzardi per l'attenta lettura! .

Correlatore di una bella tesi oggi a @Unipisa

I’d be delighted to continue the conversation—about the points in Chimisso’s review that I think are well taken, and those that, in my view, slightly miss the mark. Here’s to many more spirited debates!.

Here is a link to the review:

What better way to celebrate this first anniversary than with a new review—this time by Cristina Chimisso, leading scholar of French epistemology. Her review on @HOPOS_Society is quite critical, but as Hasok once wisely told me, it’s fun to be denounced as well!.

These exchanges have shaped the project beyond the page! I’m also humbled by the generous endorsements from Hasok Chang, Peter Galison, and Paul Roth (shared below). Their thoughtful words mean a lot to me.

My book with @SpringerNature turns 1 yo today! Grateful for this journey—the vibrant discussions I’ve had with friends & colleagues @CambridgeHPS @UniPadova @HKUSTPhilSci & elsewhere, where I was invited to present & debate ideas from the book.

Thanks @at_tuboly and Flavia Padovani for putting it together!.

⏰👇This big boy (50 chapters!) is almost ready to be published 😮 Very happy to have contributed a chapter on Bachelard and continental epistemologies

Giving a talk at the University of Vienna in less than 2 hours from now, wish me good luck ☘️

It was a real pleasure to take part in last week’s conference in Dallas (photos available at the link below). Many thanks to Jon Tsou for organizing the event and for being such a generous host! .

This is happening tomorrow in Pisa!.

Still processing the privilege of joining Peter Galison’s 70th Orbit | "Celebrating Collaborations" at Harvard last week. All this unfolding as Harvard stands up to federal pressure. A stark reminder of how vital global, open intellectual exchange is.

Chrys Mantzavinos (University of Athens) is coming to @unipi next week and is going to present + discuss his latest book “The Constitution of Science” (Cambridge University Press). Come and join the conversation if you are in the area!

Excited to co-edit a Special Issue of @themonist on Ian Hacking’s philosophy with Paul Roth! 🔍. 9 essays exploring his wide-ranging work. Coming later this year—can’t wait to share the stellar lineup!.

At @Unipisa tomorrow (Wednesday, May 7) we welcome Marco Nathan (Denver) for a talk titled "Scientism: Threat or Red Herring". Poster attached! . If interested and in the area come and join the conversation!
