Putting aside quibbles about whether #PhilipKitcher's critique of #analyticPhilosophy is novel, I found #TimothyWilliamson's critique to be the kind of #romanticism, #anecdote, and unsupported speculation that's dissatisfying and deficient to empirically-oriented #philosophers like #Kitcher (see my #marginalia).

If I were #Kitcher, #Williamson's critique may not provoke a single qualm about my latest #book; it may only reinforce my concern about contemporary analytic #philosophy/#philosophers.

#TimothyWilliamson posted an accepted critique of fellow #philosopher #PhilipKitcher's book 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙮? (#Oxford #University Press)

"According to ...Kitcher,... much of contemporary #analyticPhilosophy ...offers ... nothing useful. [...] He wants #philosophy to change [...] But most of his recommendations would make philosophy worse: more anxious to imitate the neighbours and impress the general public...."
