The Monist 94 (4): October 2011 | CFP: 31 October 2010

Via Gillian Brock, a CFP for an issue of the Monist on cosmopolitanism due out in 2011:

According to cosmopolitanism, every person has global stature as the ultimate unit of moral concern and is therefore entitled to equal respect and consideration no matter what her citizenship status or other affiliations happen to be. This issue of The Monist is intended as a forum for debates about the pros and cons of cosmopolitanism. It will address questions such as: What does cosmopolitanism require by way of obligations of justice to all? What kinds of reforms to our global and local institutions do cosmopolitan concerns require? Are these requirements feasible? In addition to our obligations to everyone, do we have further, more demanding, obligations to compatriots or to family members? Do non-cosmopolitan theories provide a better account of our obligations and allow us a more useful framework for mediating the interests of compatriots and non-compatriots?

Inquiries should be directed to Gillian at gbrock [at] auckland.ac.nz

CFP: 1 December 2008

The journal Representation invites papers for a special issue on Democracy in South Africa, guest edited by Professor Laurence Piper (School of Politics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.)

South Africa’s transition from the racist oligarchy of apartheid to a non-racial, democratic state based on human rights is widely hailed as one of the ‘miracles’ of recent times. However, due to recent events real concerns have begun to emerge over the robustness of this fourteen year old democracy. These worries arise in part due to the vicious leadership contest within the ANC that has allegedly compromised the independence of key state institutions while presenting an uninspiring choice between an ‘authoritarian Africanist’ and an ‘opportunist populist’. The victorious candidate, Jacob Zuma, is presented respectively as a champion of the left, a trojan horse for Zulu nationalism, or a megalomaniacal populist. The real Zuma remains a mystery. What is more, there is little understanding of what his rise means for democracy in South Africa.

Readers of this blog, and especially those who took part in the discussion of David Estlund’s Democratic Authority, might be interested in Liz Anderson’s recent review of the book in the journal Episteme (here).

(EDIT: actually, all of the articles in this issue, available here, may be of interest to readers.) 

Today, we have learned the news that the Journal of Moral Philosophy will be a quarterly publication from 2009. This is a major change that I have been hoping to achieve for some time. The JMP was launched in April 2004 and since this time we have published three issues per year. I am particularly delighted that we will be able to publish accepted work more quickly and provide more articles, review articles, discussion pieces, and book reviews to our readers.

At present, the JMP continues to be strong. We receive over 120 submissions per year minimum and our acceptance rate remains 10%. The majority of papers accepted are accepted after revisions. We currently use three referees for submissions and more than 80% of submissions are reviewed in two months or less.

The latest issue of the Journal of Moral Philosophy is now available. Please note that we have moved to Brill and our new website can be found here. (Our previously site with SAGE Publications is here.) All issues of the JMP can be downloaded from IngentaConnect here.

The contents are as follows:

The March issue of JPP has been available for a while, and the June issue has just come out, so I thought I would post both. There are many people who use these links to access the articles, but unfortunately I cannot be relied upon to post them timeously. If anyone would like to “take over” a journal and post a notice when a new issue comes out, please feel free to volunteer. It is one way to keep on top of new articles coming out in the journals one may wish to be reading anyway.
