My new analysis of the most-cited philosophers in the Stanford Encyclopedia (as a measure of influence in what I call "mainstream Anglophone philosophy"). I'll follow up later with various demographic analyses.
As usual, David Lewis tops the list:

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.
I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

How do we decide who to trust? SRI Grad Fellow Alice Huang's (@uoftphilosophy) new paper in @TheBJPS looks how we use "track records" to make decisions about trust. Alice uses computational techniques to ask whether track records help us identify experts. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

The first (substantive) revision to my Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on "Fundamentality" is now online: plato.stanford.edu/entries/f…
A lot of new literature on the topic since the original 2018 entry – I added loads of new references (but couldn't discuss everything).

New updated entry on Metaphysics in Chinese Philosophy!
There's a stereotype that Chinese philosophy is mainly social/political/moral in nature, leaving behind metaphysical, epistemological, linguistic (etc) questions. But as you can see, not so!!

It was easy for me to distinguish subjective from objective. As I read the literature about subjective and objective reason/ought, I am now unsure how to distinguish the two. I hate life so much.
