Ásta, Arto Laitinen, Muhammad Ali Khalidi, and Ayana Samuel offer new developments and central objections to my "Power View" in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences (forthcoming December 2025). In my response, I develop telic power and economic class among other things.
I am looking forward to seeing a lot of social ontologists at the 2025 Dublin Conference! Recently, I have been working on two new applications of telic power, one of which will be presented at the Dublin conference. This is joint work with Nemi Pelgrom, and we will present "Telic Power and Academic Excellence." This paper measures the different telic powers of applicants for academic positions and is based on extensive empirical material.

I am looking forward to the 2026 social ontology conference in Krakow Poland. See the International Society for Social Ontology website for news about it.
