A History of Philosophy Journals, Volume 1: Evidence from Topic Modeling, 1876–2013
Brian Weatherson
This book uses computer modeling to investigate trends in what is published in leading philosophy journals over the last century and a half. The notable trends include the rise of realism from a fringe view to the mainstream metaphysical outlook, the increase in specialization, and the increasing depth of integration between philosophy and physical sciences. It also contains a guide to how to do similar investigations, and discussions of the strengths and weaknesses of the approach.
Brian Weatherson is the Marshall M. Weinberg Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is the author of Normative Externalism (Oxford University Press, 2019), and many journal articles, as well as being editor of Philosophers' Imprint.
