Public Affairs Quarterly

Wednesday, 2 January 2008 in Notices by Robert Talisse | 4 comments

Just a quick note to Public Reasoners: I’ve taken up the editorship of Public Affairs Quarterly. I’m still getting my bearings, and submissions info on the journal webpage needs updating, etc., but I hope you will keep PAQ in mind for your work.

Happy New Year to all,

–Bob

Bob, congratulations and good luck with the journal! Are you aware of an online table of contents for back issues of PAQ? I’d like to get a sense of what sort of work is typically published there, but my googling efforts don’t seem to turn anything up and my university library doesn’t carry the journal.

Hi David,

Unfortunately PAQ has almost no online presence– something I’m hoping to do something about. –Bob

David, here’s the journal description from the website:

“Public Affairs Quarterly (PAQ) is devoted to current issues in social and political philosophy. It specializes in contributions that examine matters on the current agenda of public policy in light of philosophical reflections and assessments. The journal offers tightly focused philosophical case studies of particular issues in such areas as—social and economic justice; public welfare; individual entitlements, rights, and duties; inheritance, taxation, and distributive justice in general; population policy, abortion, and euthanasia; environmental problems; science policy; the social and political status of women, senior citizens, minorities, and other social groups; arms control, war and deterrence; loyalty, duty, and patriotism; ethical issues in medicine, business, and the professions; criminality, criminal justice, and punishment; and similar topics. PAQ seeks to promote the understanding of issues of public policy by publishing essays that bring philosophical depth and sophistication to matters on the agenda of public debate that would otherwise be left to the tender mercies of political rhetoric and journalistic oversimplification.”
