Philosophers of Physics

This is an attempt at compiling a hopefully useful list of websites of professional philosophers of physics. It is, I’m afraid, highly incomplete. Please take no offense if your name is not on it when it should. Instead, let me know, and I will happily add it. As a general rule of thumb, you should have published in philosophy of physics and have a webpage. I will try to keep it up to date, but of course, if you have any updates, also don’t hesitate to let me know! (A similar list is maintained by Oliver Pooley and can be found here)

Thanks go to Sam Fletcher and Casey McCoy for all their help in filling the gaps and in keeping this up-to-date, and to Guido Bacciagaluppi who reported a number of errors.

Note 3 September 2021: a number of entries below are no longer fully up-to-date. I hope to soon fix them. Any help in doing so will be appreciated.

The list now contains 295 entries (if I didn’t miscount…).
