Maybe we should start to really attack this PPR backlog.

bq. “Karen Bennett’s”:http://www.princeton.edu/~kbennett/ papers and works in progress.

“Global Supervenience and Dependence” — forthcoming in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research (they accepted this paper over 2 years ago…)

If it makes Karen feel better, us locals also have to wait to see our papers appear. I don’t mind, since it means that in principle I could still deliver my “Dr Evil paper”:http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Philosophy/homepages/weatherson/evil.pdf at symposia. I’ve never been invited to deliver that paper, and frankly I don’t know what I’d do with the _difficult_ sections – esp. 6 and 9 – in a presentation. But I like several of the jokes in it, and the examples, and for a reply paper it makes a reasonably substantive point, so it could be fun to deliver. Once the paper appears in print this is no longer an option, so I don’t totally mind the delay.

I should also note that the backlog is not caused by PPR itself being behind. Thanks to what appears to be superhuman efforts from the PPR office, both PPR and No{u^}s always appear on schedule. It’s just that there are so many good papers to publish, that there’s inevitably a bit of a backlog.
