Like many of you I try to keep an eye on the various journals on philosophy of religion in order to keep abreast of what's new. Philo, the publication of the Society of Humanist Philosophers, is one of those journals that I've tried to keep up with. The editorial board of the journal is simply topnotch, and the journal has published some really fine volumes. I knew there was a recent change in editorship, however, I'd started wondered if the journal was still in operation since I haven't seen a new volume in sometime.
Happily it looks like Paul Draper has gotten control of the reins and new issues are forthcoming. Out now is volume 9.1 (2006) guest edited by Jeffrey Grupp on "Theories of Simples". Paul tells me that volume 9.2 (2006) guest edited by John Shook is currently at the printer, 10.1 is ready for copy editing, and that by 10.2 we can start blaming holding him responsible for the contents of the journal. So, it's good to see that we wont be losing a fine journal in the area, and it's even better news if you've got an essay looking for a home.
Matt,
I asked Quentin Smith about Philo in the spring. Their website had fallen way behind (incidentally Philosophia Christi has as well). He mentioned that Paul Draper would be editing. I hardly know Paul, but I expect the journal will be run more efficiently.
Let me congratulate you on your move to Northwestern. I think I saw that correctly.
Thanks for the congratulations on the move. It was a great opportunity that came about because of a faculty move.
