The “Online Philosophy Resources Weekly Update” will be adding a new feature: book reviews that appear in academic journals. The Weekly Update already includes sections for book reviews at Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews and in non-academic venues. To this, we’ll be adding “Open-Access Book Reviews in Academic Journals.” To make this work, the journals have to send in the reviews. In order to be included in this section, book reviews must be: open-access published no earlier than January 2023, published in an academic philosophy journal or, if published in a non-philosophy journal, be a review of a book authored by a philosopher, and submitted by email to dailynouseditor@gmail.com in the following format: “[Book Title] by [Book Author] is reviewed by [Review Author] in [Journal Title]”, where Journal Title must embed a link to the web page on which the book review appears (not to the journal’s homepage or table of contents). The Weekly Updates appear on Mondays. Normally, if you send in the links by Friday afternoon they can be included in the coming week’s edition.
Substack, the online publishing platform, appears to be increasing in popularity among philosophers as a place to blog and share ideas via newsletter. Yet it can be difficult to find philosophers’ Substacks if you’re not already aware of them, or if they are not especially popular. So I thought it would be useful to create a space to list them. To keep things manageable, let’s limit this post to Substacks by philosophy professors or those with at least some graduate training in philosophy. Here’s a list of Substacks by philosophers I’m aware of: Hinternet by Justin E. H. Smith Mostly Aesthetics by Brad Skow The Philosophical Economist by Erik Angner Good Thoughts by Richard Y. Chappell It’s Her Factory by Robin James Fake Noûs by Michael Huemer Under the Net by Kieran Setiya Infinitely More by Joel David Hamkins Running Ideas by Nicholas Delon Philosophy for the People by Ben Burgis Uncommon Wisdom by Jimmy Alfonso Licon The Splintered Mind by Eric Schwitzgebel Please share others in the comments. Thanks! P.S. Substack is where the service New Work in Philosophy is published.
