proposing a new series:
Papers In
Intercultural Philosophy – Transcontinental Comparative Studies (PIP_TraCS)
date of inception:
in conjunction with: Quest: An African Journal of
Philosophy/Revue Africaine de Philosophy
and the Philosophical Faculty,
series editor: Wim van
Binsbergen (e-mail:
pip_tracs@yahoo.com )
(Philosophical Faculty, Erasmus University Rotterdam,
the Netherlands / Research Unit on Connections in African Knowledge, African
Studies Centre, Leiden, the Netherlands)
In
order to further Intercultural Philosophy (as a rapidly growing sub-discipline
where philosophy and the social sciences meet, addressing many of today’s most
urgent problems), and also in order to further, already at an initial and
pre-publication stage, the international circulation of the extensive work
(both theoretical and empirical) done in recent years around the chair in the
Foundations of Intercultural Philosophy at
Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Research Unit on Connections in African
Knowledge, African Studies Centre, Leiden, we are hereby establishing a series
of (Working) Papers in Intercultural
Philosophy and Transcontinental Comparative Studies (abbreviated: PIP_TraCS).
The series will be uniformly formatted, each
title will be freely available on the Internet in PDF form at the series’ webpage,
but via the latter also hard copies will be made available to the general
public in book form at the cost of about €15.00 per 100 pages, postage not
included. The series’ preferred languages are English, French, German, and
Dutch, but contributions in other languages will also be contemplated; texts in
other than West European languages (African, Asian, American, Australian,
Oceanian, as well as Eastern European) will be eligible if accompanied by a
facing text in a West European language. Each volume will contain up to ten key
words (both English and French) and a relatively extensive abstract (also in
both languages) to be circulated internationally in specialised bibliographical
periodicals.
While authors having a connection with the
Chair of Foundations of Intercultural Philosophy, Erasmus University Rotterdam,
and with Quest: An African Journal of
Philosophy, will initially prevail among the contributors to this series,
scholars from whatever institutional affiliation including independent
scholars, and from whatever country or continent, are encouraged to submit
their manuscripts (exclusively in digital form, by e-mail). In order to limit
the amount of in-house copy editing, authors will themselves be primarily
responsible for the preparation of their text, at an adequate level of
orthographic and stylistic accomplishment, with abstracts in both English and
French, and key words (max. 10) also in these two languages. We will follow the
style sheet and detailed rules for submission of Quest: An
African Journal of Philosophy
(see: http://www.quest-journal.net/directions_for_contributors.htm
). While the authors retain the copyright to their text, they
will nominally (through the simple act of submitting their text) cede such use
rights to the series editor as allow the latter to publish and republish the
text on the Internet and as hard copy. An ISBN number will be issued for each
separate title. The more voluminous titles will preferably be accompanied by an
index, to be compiled by the author. Authors will receive three copies free, and
may purchase any number of hard copies against 25% discount.
