Now that the deadline for submitting papers to this year's Cocoon conference has passed, I have a lot of papers that need to be reviewed. Anyone willing to help out by reviewing a paper or two? If so, please just send me an email with your CV to marvan@ut.edu, along with an expression of how many papers you would be interested in reviewing. I'm not looking for comments on whatever paper(s) you review. All I'm looking for is for a quick read of the paper and a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" verdict on its suitability for presentation at at the conference. Any volunteers? I would be very grateful!

Because review processes work best when papers are matched with reviewers with expertise in the area, here is a quick list of subjects this year's submissions are on (I will cross out subject areas listed once I have recruited reviewers – embedded bulletpoints indicate specific subject areas for specialists):

  • Applied ethics
  • Arendt
  • Consequentialism
  • Deontology
  • Epistemology 
    • Credence
    • Definitions of knowledge
    • Formal epistemology
    • Luminosity
  • Grounding
  • Heidegger
  • Inference to the best explanation
  • The language of thought
  • Metaethics (moral realism)
  • Metaphilosophy
    • Intuitions
    • Theory choice
  • Metaphysics (material constitution)
  • Moral responsibility
  • Normative ethics
  • Philosophy of biology (fitness)
  • Philosophy of language
    • Demonstrative reference
    • Intentions, presuppositions, etc.
    • Frege
  • Philosophy of law
  • Political philosophy
    • Ideal & nonideal theory
    • Political representation
    • Racism
  • Virtue ethics

Thanks in advance to everyone who volunteers – I am very appreciative for your help!

  1. Wow, no logic at all? That’s rather sad. 🙁

    Formal epistemology is kind of ‘logicish’, right?
