Was going to write something extolling the virtues of European coalition governments in wake of the US election, but seems like we can't have nice things this week...

@colinbodayle It's an accessible, if not dense, read. Technical knowledge of contemporary mathematical logic is certainly not required, as the book spends a lot of time with pre-modern (i.e. pre-Fregean) developments in logic.

@AuroraDevEco It's an interesting question. Logic as a discipline, contra to its early beginnings, is nowadays practised as a subdiscipline of either mathematics or philosophy. In this sense, the (general) history of logic has become entangled with that of these wider disciplines.

Happy to have presented a poster on the waxing and waning of the structure of scientific theories debate at @umnmcps's Past, Present, Future conference last week. The physical poster might be gone, but may it live on in digital form.

@ThomasHogeling Op die manier. Excuus, had je in dat geval verkeerd begrepen.

@ThomasHogeling Ik snap dat Twitter geen medium is waar mensen het gesprek met elkaar aangaan, maar ik vind dit toch best een vervelende opmerking. Hun podcast is zeker wat luchtiger dan andere, maar zie niet in waarom het nodig is ze zo weg te zetten. Als je zou willen uitweiden, graag.
