Online Ethics Journals

Posted on by

Here’s some news about a couple of online ethics journals that I’ve mentioned before. I haven’t been tracking it for OPP for some reason, but here’s the first three articles from the “Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy”:http://www.jesp.org/

bq. “Is Gibbard a Realist?”:http://www.jesp.org/articles/download.php?id=19, by Laura Schroeter and Francois Schroeter

bq. “Essentially Comparative Concepts”:http://www.jesp.org/articles/download.php?id=18, by Jonathan Dancy

bq. “The Good, the Bad, and the Blameworthy”:http://www.jesp.org/articles/download.php?id=17, by Neil Levy

And “Studies in the History of Ethics”:http://www.historyofethics.org/ has a “call for papers on The Ethics of War and Peace in Historical Perspective”:http://www.historyofethics.org/cfp072005.html, which is excerpted below the fold.

bq.. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of 4,000-10,000 words that offer historical insight into ethical questions surrounding war and peace. The editors are interested in historically-oriented papers that address such topics as:

* The historical origins and development of realism, pacifism, and just war theory
* The significance of modern war technologies or tactics for traditional ethical doctrines about war
* The relationship between the ethics of war and larger issues in international political theory and philosophy (sovereignty, states’ rights, human rights, etc.)
* The development of principles of jus ad bellum and jus in bello
* Conditions and establishment of just peace
* Contrasts between contemporary and historical appraoches to the ethics of war
* Discussions of the views of key figures in historical thinking about the ethics of war
