With sadness we note the passing of Steven Weinberg. His influence on physics has of course been enormous, but – despite his public antipathy to ‘philosophy’ – his conceptual insights into quantum field theory and gravity (and more) have also greatly influenced many of us in philosophy of physics. Notably for me, his work on the renormalization group, the relation between fields and particle in QFT, and – especially relevant to this website – his contributions to our understanding of the scope and limits of gravity as a QFT. Beyond that of course are his amazing popular works in physics, that I expect helped bring many of us to physics in the first place.
