Book cover of โTemporal Cognition in Animalsโ by Angelica Kaufmann in the Cambridge Elements: The Philosophy of Biology series. Against a black background, the title is surrounded by Ernst Haeckelโs illustrations of marine organismsโradial, symmetrical forms in vivid blues, oranges, reds, and greens.
Do non-human animals represent time? New Element in the #PhilBio series by Angelica Kaufmannโfree to download until March 16! Kaufmann argues that temporal cognition is widespread across many animal species & advances comparative analyses ๐๐ www.cambridge.org/core/element... #evosky #HPS #cogsci
When someone says โScientists do not want you to knowโ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canโt shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
Just starting and you can attend remotely! #philsky #philsci
New piece out today in #Sagacity Magazine! I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Chris Letheby at #UWA about his work in the #Philosophy of #Psychedelics. I had a lot of fun with this one, and I hope you enjoy reading it too. Part II (with more questions!) is coming soon โจ

Chimpanzees have culture. Do they also have cultural heritage worthy of protection? @simonfitzpatrick.bsky.social and I argue they do in our new paper, because their cultural practices create value.
