Announcing a new journal: ========================== PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLORATIONS ========================== An International Journal for the Philosophy of Mind and Action Visit our website at: http://www.phil.ruu.nl/~brink/announcement.html Information on a symposium on the occasion of the first issue of Philosophical Explorations: http://www.phil.ruu.nl/~brink/symposium.html Philosophical Explorations aims to provide a forum for analytically minded philosophers interested in a genuine dialogue with continental philosophy and the (social) sciences. The editors believe that a comprehensive understanding of mind and action requires insights of philosophers working in both traditions and of scientists working in the field. Contributions are welcomed in the area of the philosophy of mind and action and related disciplines such as moral psychology, ethics, philosophical anthropology, social philosophy, political philosophy and philosophy of the social sciences. The journal also welcomes contributions of an interdisciplinary kind, establishing bridges between philosophy and, for example, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychology, and political science. Philosophical Explorations is published three times a year in January, May and September. The final issue of each year is devoted to a special topic. Although the bulk of each issue consists of substantial papers (8000 words), the journal also provides for critical discussions and surveys of recent developments (3000 words).
