Many congrats to Dr @daianbica.bsky.social for a brilliant PhD defence of a fascinating PhD thesis on Perspectival realism and a Perspectival account of Lewis’s Best System Analysis of laws — in the words of Daian’s intro ‘friends of epistemic humility, let us all unite!’ 👏👏

This great 2-day conference on the metaphysical challenge of scientific pluralism is happening now in Sorbonne — so grateful to the organisers and wonderful hosts @daianbica.bsky.social and Adrien Avramoglou— with @msuarez.bsky.social Anjan Chakravartty, Andrea Hüttemann and many more speakers.
