Arguably, they *are* experts in everything, but it is not the case that for each thing, they are experts in that thing.

Real or imagined… I was writing about this lopsidedness ten years ago: https://philpapers.org/archive/CHAPBS.pdf
William Lewis on Major Threats to the Health of Philosophy, Real and Imagined (guest post)
There are a bunch of published responses to tuvel’s paper and many others that cite it positively and negatively. Of course, we never know those papers that were…
Margaret Atherton on Major Threats to the Health of Philosophy, Real and Imagined (guest post)
It seemed odd to me that Fine and Rosen spent so much time talking about the Tuval affair, a single incident not representative of any body of knowledge…

Bettcher and Saul are right in contesting the view that, within the philosophy of sex and gender, "an orthodoxy reigns according to which “trans women are women and…

I echo what others, such as bob jones and Erik, have said about the treatment of Tuvel. I find the way that the authors talk about the treatment…
UK philosopher on Major Threats to the Health of Philosophy, Real and Imagined (guest post)

David was my doctoral supervisor at Cornell, I TA'd for him, and I occasionally played squash with him. I no longer play squash but his influence on me…
Kenny Easwaran on Building AI That Can Do Philosophy Better Than Us (guest post)
For some questions people would be interested in, yes, a better comparison would be a field of both human-written and AI-written submissions, evaluated anonymously. But even that wouldn't…
Elizabeth S. Radcliffe on David Lyons (1935-2026)
An excellent philosopher and an excellent person. He was a positive force at Cornell when I was a grad student. Condolences to his family.
Erik on Major Threats to the Health of Philosophy, Real and Imagined (guest post)
“[T]he controversy concerned calls for a retraction [of Tuvel’s paper] which were followed by a decision not to retract—a puzzling choice of illustration for a claim of suppression.”…

I'm shocked by the suggestion that Fine and Rosen are not experts in everything.
bob jones on Major Threats to the Health of Philosophy, Real and Imagined (guest post)
Whatever one makes of the rest of this response, the discussion of the Tuvel affair is wild. The fact her paper wasn't in fact retracted doesn't at all…
