I decided that one needed 400 citations to count as canonical. Okay, I played around with scholar.google a bit and found empirical evidence for the canonical status of most of the suggested works (alas not RISS, Jeff). I am painfully aware I excluded a lot of people I admire.Įric Schliesser Sunday, Januat 4:58:00 PM EST Alan Richardson, Carnap's Construction of the World Ian Mueller, Philosophy of Mathematics and Deductive Structure in Euclidġ0.

(I also excluded philosophy of mind!) Maybe somebody else can start an articles section? I decided to focus on books (so this leaves out David Malament's, Howard Stein's and George Smith's articles-all personal favorites). Luckily, my working library is being moved to Ghent, so I had to respond without looking at the books I own. Chris Smeenk (UWO) asks, "what do you take to be the canonical texts post-1980 in philosophy of science and/or HPS? By canonical I mean the kind of texts that should be required readings for graduate students entering the field." I like this question because it forces us to think about the Post-Kuhnian (etc) area.
