Call for Papers: Deadline Extended to 12/31

Social Philosophy Today is pleased to invite submissions to Volume 39 (2023) on the themes: Polarization, Reconciliation, and Community.  For a list of possible sub-topics, please see the call-for-abstracts to the 2022 NASSP conference: http://www.northamericansocietyforsocialphilosophy.org/

We also invite original, non-article length “responses” to previously published Social Philosophy Today articles. For electronic access to the journal archive since 2002, please consult the journal’s website:  http://www.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/journal?openform&journal=pdc_socphiltoday

Social Philosophy Today publishes articles in social and political philosophy, broadly construed. While each issue of the annual journal has a theme, we will consider any submission from social and political philosophy.  Only those articles recommended on the basis of double-blind peer review will be accepted for publication. Accordingly, all papers submitted should be prepared for blind review according to the guidelines below.
