JHAP aims to promote research in and provide a forum for discussion of the history of analytic philosophy. ‘History’ and ‘analytic’ are understood broadly. JHAP takes the history of analytic philosophy to be part of analytic philosophy. Accordingly, it publishes historical research that interacts with the ongoing concerns of analytic philosophy and with the history of other twentieth century philosophical traditions. In addition to research articles, JHAP publishes discussion notes and reviews.
"and with the history of other twentieth century philosophical traditions" is a very important clause! Two [update: now three] notes which concern that clause:
1) I'm going to tag this with "Analytic-Continental Divide and its overcoming" as the potential for work examining "the parting of the ways" might help to specify the important similarities and the important differences between the two traditions.
2) There is also be room for investigations into the relation of the history of analytic philosophy and other non-continental traditions -- we should never forget that the philosophy map isn't completely divisible into two traditions, analytic and continental. There are plenty of fields that don't fit either description.
3) UPDATE 3 August, 10:10 am CDT: As I note here (comment 12) I think it's high time we CP folks have a hard look at our own myth-making about our origins, our way we tell the story of "the parting of the ways," our implicit and explicit canon.
