A Directory of Philosophers in Industry

May 1, 2020

In order to help those with graduate training in philosophy find employment outside of academia, Marcus Arvan (Tampa) has created a new “Directory of Philosophers in Industry.”

The directory was just launched, and additional entries are welcome. If you’d like to add your name to it, or have suggestions for it, contact Professor Arvan at [email protected].

Readers may also be interested in checking out the Non-Academic Hires page here.

Thanks so much for helping to crowdsource this, Justin! I plan to go through the Non-Academic Hires page in the next day or two to update the directory further (thanks for reminding me of it), but I would be very grateful to any DN readers who have suggestions for other additions or edits.

Yes, memory is narrative storytelling using context triggered neurological networks. Freud speculated about memory traces, Friston called the Bayesian probability clouds.

I assume they'll be using the rigorous standard set by the US Supreme Court: "I'll know it when I see it."

Still need someone to start it (I’m more of an “ideas guy who will take all the credit” myself).
