Book Reviews are a great way for graduate students to start publishing on journals. Here is a good opportunity to start a publishing record. Douglas Lackey, the Editor of *The Philosophical Forum*, invites philosophers to join a team effort to review the three volumes of Terence Irwin's *History of Ethics*.
Irwin's *History*, three volumes, 96 chapters, 1444 sections, and 2743 pages, is the *à la recherche du temps perdu* of recent philosophy books, and perhaps no single person is competent to review it all. So *The Philosophical Forum* has decided to replace one reviewer with many.
The proposal is that each philosopher discussed by Irwin, and each
topical chapter, will be assigned to one reviewer, who will produce a review
of 250-400 words.
topical chapter, will be assigned to one reviewer, who will produce a review
of 250-400 words.
What follows is a list of chapters in Irwin. When several chapters
are devoted to one philosopher, one reviewer will be assigned to the
philosopher discussed in those chapters. If you are interested in reviewing
a chapter or a philosopher, contact Professor Lackey at dlac...@gc.cuny.edu,
giving the chapter or philosopher you wish to review, and your
qualifications for reviewing it –which might be as simple as "second year
graduate student in philosophy at University X." If several persons request
the same chapters, The Forum will select one person who seems most
qualified. Reviewers will receive pdfs of their assignment, not copies of
the books. The Editors reserve the right to reject reviews that do not meet
professional standards.
