This workshop in London at the Institute of Philosophy looks extremely interesting. It’s a gathering of some of the leading philosophy journal editors as well as OUP, CUP, and Wiley-Blackwell philosophy commissioning editors. I’ve recently worked with Hilary Gaskin of CUP, so I have some insight into the publishing process. I’ve also followed the discussion [...]
I’ve been meaning to report on this interesting project which promotes open-access publication and attempts to apply the concept of crowd sourcing to academic peer review. Back in May the founders reported that the philosophy section already has 80 volunteers for peer-reviewing, and I imagine that the numbers have grown since. I’m one of the [...]
Previous installments: #1, #2, and #3. Busy, busy, busy. I’ve got just over a month of my visit left, but I won’t be having much of a breather for the next couple of weeks at least. As you’ll know if you read my previous post, I was in Boise, Idaho last weekend for a conference. [...]
If you missed the first installment of my NYU Diaries, it’s here. It’s coming to three weeks since I arrived, and I’ve barely had a breather. It’s not because I go out on a couple of nights each week, try to write several papers at the same time, attend seminars, or run record weekly mileage. [...]
I’ve been here in NYC a little under a week now, so I thought it’s time for a quick update. Briefly about the background: I’m a visiting scholar at NYU for three months from the beginning of March until the end of May. The visit is part of my Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Researcher’s project, [...]
I’m pleased to report that just over a week ago the Academy of Finland awarded me a grant for a three year Postdoctoral Researcher’s Project, A Study of the Foundations of Metaphysics: The A Priori, Modality, and Essences. This is essentially the Finnish equivalent of a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship. The project will be based [...]
Eric Schwitzgebel at The Splintered Mind is doing some interesting research on discussion arcs, and as part of that research he has listed the The Forty Most Cited Contemporary Authors in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy as well as an extension of that list up to 200 Most Cited Authors. Some interesting figures there. The [...]
I note this job advert for a Professor in Theoretical Philosophy (Fixed-term) at the University of Helsinki, Finland mainly due to my interest towards the future of the department (now actually part of the new Department of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies) at Helsinki. This is, yet again, a three year post between Aug [...]
Right, so I wasted way too much time on the whole obesity/discrimination debate (see my previous post, as well as my addendum in the comments), so here is something completely different: what is philosophy good for? There was a link to an article in Newsweek from a couple of years ago circulating on Facebook recently, [...]
