Philosophy through Art, Games, and Fiction

Can we do philosophy by writing fiction, drawing, designing a game, or telling a story? Submit work to this special issue honouring the legacy of Helen De Cruz.

Continuing my presentation tour, I talked about work from my book project “The Conceptual Fabric of Science” @lmu-mcmp.bsky.social. I combine cognitive linguistics and my own patchwork approach to scientific concepts to argue that polysemy in science has communicative and epistemic value (1/2)
