One response to “Extended CFP: Southwestern Phil. Society”

  1. Paul

    Just to add a couple points if I may:
    The mission of the society aligns well with that of the Cocoon, seeking to nurture “younger philosophers from all traditions and methodologies.” Each paper is reviewed by two scholars in the paper area. Accepted papers:
    1. Are presented at the conference.
    2. Are published in the 36th volume of the society’s journal (the paper must be presented to be published).
    3. Have a commentator whose comments are also published in the next issue.
    Additionally, the author retains copyright over the contents of the paper.
