Two Recent Answers to &quot;Can philosophy help to innovate and develop scientific theory?&quot;

My 2 recent Answers (of April 27th and 28th, 2020) to the thread Question, &quot;Can philosophy help to innovate and develop scientific theory?&quot; 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 &quot;fans&quot; for me -- AND possible editors/co-authors (see Project Log &quot;Update&quot;, 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 (&quot;just behaviors&quot;) 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 &quot;microscope&quot; 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 &quot;fitting this bill&quot; 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 &quot;entries&quot; 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 &quot;Updates&quot; are found underneath the linked heading &quot;Project Log&quot; 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.)

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 &quot;Updates&quot; of this Project ALSO (not among the 200 pages of major oldfoundational papers and 512 pages of essays in my &quot;BOOK&quot;, 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.
