DESCRIPTION:<p>We invite chapter proposals for an edited volume exploring philosophers&rsquo\; views on different aspects of metaphilosophy. The target audience is undergraduate and graduate students in philosophy and laypeople. These populations are often surprised that philosophers do not agree about what philosophy is\, how it is done\, whether it makes progress\, what its value is\, etc. Contributions to this volume will shed light on these topics and introduce the variety of metaphilosophical views contemporary philosophers hold.</p>\n<p>Contributions will generally fit into one of the following topical areas and address several of the suggested subtopics\; however\, clearly there is the possibility of overlapping topics\, and the following suggested subtopics are not exhaustive. Final essays should defend a particular view rather than merely describe it\, be fewer than 2000 words\, and be written for the target audience. Neither proposals nor final essays should make use of AI in any way.</p>\n<p>What is philosophy?
