Special topic: Partiality (broadly construed).

We welcome submissions on the special topic in any area of philosophy.

Topics may include, by no means exhaustively: do you have epistemic duties towards your friends and family that you don't have towards others, do you require less evidence in order to believe your friends and family, are there any good justifications for treating those you're close to differently, do states have duties to treat citizens the same as non-citizens, do the same norms of distributive justice apply at the domestic and global level, what is the properrole of tradition in personal and social life, etc...

We also invite submissions of high quality work in any area of philosophy to be considered for presentation.
