Edited by David Coady (Tasmania) and Miranda Fricker (Sheffield)
For many people\, including many professional philosophers\, &ldquo\;applied philosophy&rdquo\; is virtually synonymous with &ldquo\;applied ethics&rdquo\;. But this conception of the scope of applied philosophy is surely too narrow. In particular\, there seems to be room for an &ldquo\;applied turn&rdquo\; in epistemology\, analogous to the one that has taken place in ethics.
This special issue on applied epistemology is open to two kinds of articles: first\, articles on specific topics in applied epistemology (broadly construed)\; second\, articles about applied epistemology (e.g. its significance and scope). Papers might use traditional epistemological debates to cast light on applied problems\; or again they might explore new epistemological issues that come to light as a result of attending to real epistemic practices in applied contexts.
The sorts of issues and questions that papers might explore include:
This list is far from exhaustive\, but merely suggestive. We welcome papers on any area of applied epistemology\, whether from a political\, ethical\, legal\, or other relevant perspective. We are especially open to papers that move the discussion of applied epistemology in new directions.
The Journal now invites submissions of papers for this special issue. Submissions should be sent as an email attachment to \;jap@hull.ac.uk \;in a form suitable for blind review. The maximum length of submissions to the Journal is 8000 words. Please mark the email subject heading: &lsquo\;For Applied Epistemology Special issue&rsquo\;.
The deadline for submissions for this special issue is \;30th June 2014.
