This week, Cristian Larroulet Philipi joins us to talk about measurement in the human sciences: why it can be more philosophically complex than in the physical sciences, and how it raises pressing questions about the role of numbers in psychology, social science, and policy
#philsci #measurement
This interview brought back happy memories of the three years I spent as a post-doc in Rheinberger's department at the MPI for the History of Science (about 20 years ago). Thank you, @tespiteri.bsky.social. Your smart and thoughtful questions turned this into a delightful conversation.
Grateful to Cristian Larroulet Philippi — our inaugural Seddon Fellow in the HPS program at UniMelb — for a rich and most insightful deep dive…
