Two Recent Answers to "Can philosophy help to innovate and develop scientific theory?"
My 2 recent Answers (of April 27th and 28th, 2020) to the thread Question, "Can philosophy help to innovate and develop scientific theory?" may provide a quick overview and some slightest, but distinct, outline to the types of concept ... theory development I support and that I push for (and direct one to): https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Brad_Jesness2/answers . Looking back over 4 years of my critiques and criticisms of philosophy (in this same thread), one will find most of them not only negative, but very negative; thus only very recently have I decided that it is fair and reasonable and constructive and productive for me and others to see my writings as a type of modern scientific analytic philosophy. (All outlooks that might produce some "fans" for me -- AND possible editors/co-authors (see Project Log "Update", below) ARE WELCOME (certainly including good analytic philosophers); plus it is more than rightful that I give modern. good, well-prepared and well-knowledgeable analytic philosophers their due. The address to the whole thread is https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_philosophy_help_to_innovate_and_develop_scientific_theory , but it may be most useful to peruse for my Answers using the first link I gave (above). [(I do not provide all the essays from this thread in my collected works, but rather few or none of therm.)] Please follow me; please join me in this sort of good science enterprise.

Editor/Co-author of my Collected Writings (on behavioral science) Needed
Here is the formal write-up of the offer for an Editor/co-Author, plus with guiding links to the papers/book/essays : (Share with anyone appropriate and interested.) Editor/Co-author of my Collected Essays (on behavioral science) Needed I have approximately 900 pages of writings on new, more-empirical (actually: strictly empirical) perspectives on Psychology (esp. Developmental Psychology and General Psychology ) -- but relevant and important for Psychology in general . It is all about BEHAVIOR PATTERNS and a real science (natural science) of that patterning, and a patterning of those patterns, etc., AND, behaviorally speaking, THAT IS ALL -- i.e. outlining the possible discoveries necessary for a true and most-empirical behavioral science of BEHAVIOR PATTERNS ("just behaviors") PER SE; it is much related to classical ethology perspectives and research. There is also an expressed greater hope for some new technologies being the "microscope" of Psychology (in particular: eye tracking and computer-assisted analysis) for good/closer/better observations; there are both phenomenologies outlined, describing the quite-possible situations THAT COULD COME TO BE OBSERVED and the associated behavior patterns, etc. [(always beginning (minimally, at their inception) in the overt, directly observable)] therein more truly seen and fully discovered; AND, some detailed phenomenology is described that arrives at testable hypotheses and then involves the actual ability to to test these testable/falsifiable hypotheses. I am looking for a skilled reader and editor to read/edit my written works AND THEN put them together in a most sensible manner. This person must know the field of Psychology as a whole and must understand possibilities of ontogeny. Also she/he should have a healthy respect and high regard for KEY foundational OBSERVATIONS (always such AS CENTRAL). Anyone "fitting this bill" AND WILLING, and otherwise ABLE, I would gladly have. Doing such substantial editing/proof-reading/rearranging/publishing is enough for me to see that person as a FULL co-author and therefore I would put she/he as second author on all the book's covers. After publication, he/she (as we shall decide well ahead of time) shall have a portion of any money reaped. P.S. These, below, are guides for any individual wanting to take on the editing/co-writing/publishing: In short, here are the grand "entries" to my writings, described above: (NOTE: you may have to join researchgate to see some of this, but joining is free and is not at all hard): Perhaps, first note that "Updates" are found underneath the linked heading "Project Log" once you get to that Ethogram Project ( https://www.researchgate.net/project/Human-Ethology-and-Development-Ethogram-Theory-A-Full-Fledged-Paradigm-for-PSYCHOLOGY ) via that link I just provided. (And, you may well find the premises/assumptions/foundations of the approach, as outlined in the Overview (description) of that Project (at the top), has many, many now-lacking qualities that ARE described or indicated to be HERE within my system, and many of those characteristics, one should firmly realize, a good system should have.) Read : https://www.researchgate.net/post/Not_Psychology_for_Psychology_but_open_tough_thorough_true_fully_phenomenologically-based_real_empiricism_for_all_explanations_and_understandings and the Answers following that Discussion Question for elaborations/clarifications. AND: READ: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286920820_A_Human_Ethogram_Its_Scientific_Acceptability_and_Importance_now_NEW_because_new_technology_allows_investigation_of_the_hypotheses_an_early_MUST_READ and https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329428629_Essentially_all_Recent_Essays_on_Ethogram_Theory (basically a BOOK) and all this in addition to https://www.researchgate.net/project/Human-Ethology-and-Development-Ethogram-Theory to see the Project Overview, Project Log link to "Updates" of this Project ALSO (not among the 200 pages of major oldfoundational papers and 512 pages of essays in my "BOOK", above (which you already have been directed to), the following link gets you to 100 more pages of worthwhile essays composed after the 512 pages: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331907621_paradigmShiftFinalpdf (you CAN and must find the pdf at this last link) . There are also 2 additional shorter addenda.
