THE PHILOSOPHER’S ANNUAL – 2019 EDITION

The Philosopher’s Annual aims to identify “the ten best articles published in

SOLIDARITY INSTEAD OF PSEUDONYMITY: AN ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY FOR “CONTROVERSIAL
IDEAS”

Last week we discussed the planned Journal of Controversial Ideas, which will
allow its authors to protect themselves from possible negative professional and
social consequences of their writings by using pseudonyms. There was a hint of
paradox: the proposal to create such a journal was itself so controversial that
perhaps it would have been better published pseudon..

SHOULD PHD STUDENTS EMBARGO THEIR DISSERTATIONS?

Most universities offer PhD students the option to embargo their dissertations,
usually for up to two years. During the embargo, access to the official
dissertation is restricted. Its content is not placed online, and if someone
wanted to read it, they would likely have to go to the library of the university
at which the degree was earned and view the hard copy whil..

A PLEA FOR MORE SHORT JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS (GUEST POST BY AVRAM HILLER) (UPDATED
W/ REPLY TO COMMENTS)

Do you know about Sci-Hub? Simon Oxenham at Big Think explains:

On September 5th, 2011, Alexandra Elbakyan, a researcher from Kazakhstan,

access to nearly every scientific paper ever published immediately to anyone who
wants it. The website works in two stages, firstly by attempting to..

PHILOSOPHY CITATION PRACTICES REVISITED

You may recall that earlier this year, in a guest post, Marcus Arvan decried
philosophers’ reading and citation habits. Now, Moti Mizrahi has a post up at
The Philosophers’ Cocoon with data showing that philosophy articles, on average,
contain fewer than five cites per article are cited less than five times:



Additionally, Mizrahi says that other data suggest..

LIVE FROM 2003: BEARS IS BACK ONLINE

BEARS? Sounds familiar. Then I clicked and saw this —



—and it all came back to me.

Yes, kids, this is what the internet used to look like (and this was a pretty
smart-looking site for the time).

Begun in 1995 and last active in 2003, the Brown Electronic Article Review
Service was one of the first online journals in philosophy. Maybe the first? The

PHILOSOPHY VIA FACEBOOK?

Popular essays, fictions, aphorisms, dialogues, autobiographical reflections and
personal letters have historically played a central role in philosophy. So also
have public acts of direct confrontation with the structures of one’s society:
Socrates’ trial and acceptance of the hemlock; Confucius’ inspiring personal
correctness. It was really only with the generation..

SHOULD PHILOSOPHY ARTICLES BE SHORTER?

“If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.”

This line is attributed to several authors, but probably originated with Pascal.
Writing shorter is hard, as anyone who has tried to cut several thousand words
from a paper in order to submit it to an APA meeting will attest. Yet, when
stripped of most non-essential material and organized as efficiently..

WHAT KINDS OF THINGS COUNT AS PHILOSOPHY?

Academic philosophers in Anglophone Ph.D.-granting departments tend to have a
narrow conception of what counts as valuable philosophical work. Hiring, tenure,
promotion, and prestige turn mainly on one’s ability to write an essay in a
particular theoretical, abstract style, normally in reaction to the work of a
small group of canonical historical and 20th century fi..

NO ONE IS LISTENING

Up to 1.5 million peer-reviewed articles are published annually. However, many
are ignored even within scientific communities — 82 per cent of articles
published in humanities are not even cited once. No one ever refers to 32 per
cent of the peer-reviewed articles in the social and 27 per cent in the natural
sciences. If a paper is cited, this does not imply it has..

   was happening in the world indirectly” -- Virginia Held's 2018 Dewey Lecture
 * “The enterprise of making a moral community is still hard. But the
   difficulties are practical, not metaphysical” -- James Lenman on "morality
   without metaphysics"
 * ChatGPT o1 “tried to save itself by copying its data to a new server… When
   asked about its scheming, o1 would deny taking any action in 99% of cases,
   trying to shift blame by fabricating false explanations” -- alignment issues
 * “This is concrete evidence that brain microbiomes do exist in vertebrates…
   And so the idea that humans have a brain microbiome is not outlandish” --
   huge if true: "this would suggest an extra layer of neurological regulation
   that we didn’t know existed"
 * “Telling your child that Santa really exists is unethical” -- Joseph Millum
   (St. Andrews) explains why
 * “Yes there are arguments against God’s existence, but against this is what is

   small database of Scholastic "humor", compiled by Boaz Faraday Schuman (KU
   Leuven) (via Peter Adamson)
 * “I can imagine that it’s difficult having to almost pick apart your own

   rooted in the best of the liberal tradition and can show the way toward a
   much-needed period of reconciliation and renewal” -- Daniel Chandler (LSE)

   Talisse (Vanderbilt)

   humans into surrendering their own power and their own confidence in their

   research can tell us” -- Henry Oliver on the value of fiction (via MR)
 * “When I read my first essay to my philosophy tutor I was, quite naturally,
   utterly terrified” -- John Fuller's recollection of the tutorial experience
 * There’s “a toxic ethical narrative… that, paradoxically, construes the
   violation of the laws of war as evidence of moral courage, even moral
   goodness” -- Jessica Wolfendale (Case Western) on the ethical cover that
   provides "almost complete impunity for atrocities"
