Last year we announced the launch of Ergo, an Open Access Journal of Philosophy. Today is the grand day of the publication of Ergo’s very first issue, with four amazing papers. To commemorate this occasion, the Ergo editors asked four distinguished philosophers each to comment on one of the four papers by means of blog posts. These are:

  • Julia Jorati (OSU) on a paper in early modern by Paul Lodge (Oxford), at The Mod Squad.
  • Anna Mahtani (LSE) on a paper by Michael Caie (Pittsburgh), at Choice and Inference and M-Phi.
  • Ellen Clark (Oxford) on a paper in philosophy of biology by Christopher Hitchcock (Caltech) and Joel Velasco (Texas Tech), at Philosomama.
  • Thomas Nadelhoffer (Charleston) on a paper in experimental philosophy by John Turri (Waterloo), at Experimental Philosophy.

We hope you will enjoy the papers as well as the commentaries. Ergo remains of course open for submissions in all areas of philosophy, so do send us your best papers!

    Catarina—Just starting to think about jobs for next year, and I am SO grateful you and your co-editors have undertaken this. And that you’ve even gone the extra distance to massage and coddle the first issue a little: that’s a true service!
    One request: any chance you could widely & publicly announce how easy-breezy the entire process was from an editor’s standpoint, so as to encourage similar ventures from other philosophical corners? I mean I will say, with Ergo’s 93% (!) rejection rate, I predict we’re gonna need more real estate.
    Serious thanks, again!
