Political Philosophy, the journal created by an editorial staff consisting largely of former editors on the currently-in-limbo Journal of Political Philosophy, has printed its first article.
The Journal of Political Philosophy collapsed final yr after the choice by its writer, Wiley, to fire founding editor Robert Goodin (ANU) was adopted by the resignation of the remainder of the journal’s editors and a profession-wide pledge of non-cooperation with the journal.
Political Philosophy was launched earlier this year as a diamond open-access journal printed by the Open Library of Humanities.
The primary article printed within the new journal is “The Phenomenal Public” by Susanna Seigel (Harvard). Right here’s the article summary:
With what modes of mentality can we construct a visceral, subjective sense of being in some particular mass-political society? Theorists and political cultivators standardly name upon the creativeness – the sort prompted by symbols and rituals, for instance. May notion ever play such a task? I argue that it may, however that perceptions of mass-political publics include prices of cruelty and phantasm that neither democratic theorists nor contributors must be keen to pay. The clearest examples of such perceptions are present in fascist political tradition. My dialogue goals to light up what it’s about publics, notion, and democracy that makes this so.
