Philosopher Edouard Machery (Pitt HPS) shared the following with me:
The Center for Philosophy of Science and HPS report with great sadness that our colleague Adolf Gruenbaum died on November 15, 2018. Further information to follow in the coming days.
Grunbaum,(1923-2018) was a leading philosopher of physics and he is also famous for his criticism of psychoanalysis. He was hired by Pitt from Lehigh in 1960 and built the philosophy department and HPS. He created the Center for Philosophy of Science.
Grunbam was the one who made the Pitt Department into an international powerhouse, and also established its preeminent in philosophy of science.
