New Editorial Team at Philosophy & Public Affairs

Philosophy & Public Affairs, the highly regarded philosophy journal whose future was put in doubt when all of its editors and editorial board resigned en masse this past spring to form a new journal, has a new editorial team. The new editor-in-chief of Philosophy & Public Affairs is Jason Brennan (McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University). The journal’s associate editors are Christopher Freiman (Chambers College of Business, West Virginia University) and David Lefkowitz (University of Richmond). The journal’s editorial board (which Brennan expects to grow) is currently: Cristina Bicchieri (University of Pennsylvania), Emanuela Ceva (University of Geneva), Daniel Jacobson (University of Colorado), Matthew Kramer (Cambridge University), Kimberly Krawiec (University of Virginia School of Law), Jeffrey Moriarty (Bentley University), and Christopher Heath Wellman (Washington University in St. Louis).

Philosophy & Public Affairs prizes papers that seek to change paradigms over papers that make minor moves in long debates. It seeks to avoid esoteric and scholastic papers in favor of accessible and engaging papers about topics that matter to non-specialists.  The journal welcomes submissions from philosophers, legal scholars, political scientists, economists, and sociologists. It welcomes papers on problems requiring empirical or legal analysis, provided those papers also rigorously defend a normative position.  All papers submitted to Philosophy & Public Affairs are blinded to editors. Papers that pass initial inspection undergo triple-blind review. The journal values viewpoint and ideological diversity; no preference will be given to papers that affirm editors’ political or moral commitments. The journal aims to provide a forum in which researchers with different perspectives..
