Knowledge and Justification

Volume editors: Annalisa Coliva, Sebastiano Moruzzi and Giorgio Volpe

Call for Papers

On the wake of the EEN 2012 Conference, Discipline filosofiche is planning a special issue in epistemology to be published in English in Spring 2013.

Discipline filosofiche is a long-established journal of philosophy which is published both in print and in electronic form twice a year (www.quodlibet.it/catalogo.php?RIV=5). Based at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Bologna, it publishes thematic issues on a wide range of philosophical topics.

The aim of the special issue is to collect a set of high-quality papers on knowledge and justification springing from the Conference. Submissions are thus invited from all scholars whose papers have been selected for presentation at EEN 2012.

Please note that the focus of the special issue will be squarely epistemological, rather than semantic or metaphysical. That means that, while submissions on all topics covered at the conference will be considered, papers dealing with issues that are closer to the heart of current epistemological debate (e.g., the refutation of scepticism, the structure of perceptual justification, internalism and externalism, epistemic closure and transmission failure, a priori knowledge, etc.) will have a higher chance of being accepted.

Submission guidelines

Submission should not exceed 9,000 words including abstract, references and footnotes.

Manuscripts should be prepared for anonymous refereeing and sent by email attachment in Microsoft Word format to giorgio.volpe@unibo.it (all submissions will be acknowledged).

Submitted manuscripts can be formatted in any clear and consistent style, but authors finalizing their papers for publication will be required to hand in a final version that respects the journal’s stylistic rules.

Submission of a manuscript is understood to imply that the paper has not been published before and is not being considered for publication by any other journal.

Deadline for submission: 10 November, 2012.

Notification of acceptance, conditional acceptance, rejection: 10 January, 2013.

Final version due: 10 February, 2013.
