I am very happy to share this popular piece about relative motion, from Galileo to Einstein! It is roughly based on my recent research on the topic! I am thankful to @iai.tv and Dan Walker for reaching out, and for their great editorial work !

@murgue.bsky.social argues that distinguishing between "internal" and "external" versions of the principle highlights Galileo's forward-thinking.

This is such an interesting story!
"The portrait of Francis Williams is the only painting ever made of Halley’s comet in 1759, on its momentous first predicted return." What a fabulous story! A long read for a long weekend: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4... #histsci #Astronomy

It's nice to see that Purdue Philosophy is now recognized as one of the top departments to do philosophy of cognitive science.
Undergrad/MA mentors: get the word out to your students! Especially if they're interested in memory, AI, rationality, moral psych, norms, cultural evolution, or x-phi.
