SUBMISSIONS

The NTPA welcomes papers from all philosophical perspectives although it is especially amenable to the continental philosophical tradition. We invite both individual and two-person panel submissions. Individual submissions should include a completed paper of 3,000-3,500 words and an abstract of 150 – 200 words. Two-person panel submissions should include a title and proposal for the panel of 250-500 words, along with completed papers and abstracts. The NTPA employs a blind review process for non-invited papers, consequently authors names and institutional affiliations should not appear on their proposals, papers, and footnotes, and rather only be included on a separate cover sheet.

Individual Submission:

• Cover sheet with author’s name, title, institutional affiliation, and title of paper
• Abstract of 150-200 words
• Completed paper of 3,000-3,500 (author’s name and affiliations removed) 

Two-person Panel Submission:

• Cover sheet with both authors names, titles, institutional affiliations, and title of panel
• Proposal for panel of 250-500 words
• Abstracts for both papers of 150-200 words each
• Both completed papers of 3,000-3,500 (authors names and affiliations removed)
