thanks, I hadn't seen this book yet! I have lots of thoughts on this actually, let's chat one day :) (short answer, I don't think it is a counter-example per se, but I think it's real interesting nonetheless)

Ah that might be tricky with the time difference, but in principle we are open to online presentations!

One year ago we started a small online reading group on functions and now we have our first workshop on biological functions! Proud of the growing functions in philosophy network 💙 thanks to best co-organiser @harrif.bsky.social and @assemblinglife.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk #philsky
This week we are hosting a workshop on Biological functions organised by @frabellazzi.bsky.social and @harrif.bsky.social. Check out the program and get in touch if you want to attend remotely 🦋

In collaboration with @leverhulme.ac.uk #philsky
Check out this paper that I completely agree with: @marcartiga.bsky.social, @peterschulte.bsky.social & Nir Fresco argue against @harrif.bsky.social and Justin Garson's thesis that proper functions must be proximal functions.

Reposting this text from last year again jeppssonphilosopherauthor.blogspot.com/2023/08/anti... inspired by @rwillowfish.bsky.social . There's plenty to criticize within or related to psychiatry. But also lots of problematic stuff within common criticisms.
