Requirements for your Piece
In addition to more academic submissions, we do welcome more literary or biographical work.
Your piece must be philosophy-related. In addition to more academic submissions, we do welcome more literary or biographical work. If you think your submission has a philosophical point but you can't quite put your finger on what it is, then send it on and the editors will try to help.
Your article should be formatted correctly. Please submit a Word Document between 200 and 5000 words. If you have much more to say than this, we would encourage you to publish in installments over multiple issues. If you are writing a longer article, we suggest you include a very brief abstract at the beginning of the piece.
Consider using hyperlinks and endnotes throughout if appropriate. For example, if you make reference to the “An Lushan rebellion,” you can assume that at least some of your readers will benefit from the added context. You may use endnotes or footnotes, but please be consistent.
Please follow the format for citations & your bibliography:

Limit the length of quotations. If you are going to critique a longer quotation then by all means include it but set it off as an indented passage. Otherwise, paraphrase it in your own words.
