The Ownership of Common Goods
A Special Issue of Philosophy in the Contemporary World
Submissions are invited for a special issue of Philosophy in the
Contemporary World to be published in 2005. The journal is a fully
refereed, indexed, and copyrighted journal published by the Society
for Philosophy in the Contemporary World.
Philosophy in the Contemporary World welcomes creative and insightful
papers on any ethical concept or problem relating to the ownership of
common goods. By common goods we mean, broadly, shared resources,
things held in common, and things of general interest or benefit to
members of the community (understood locally or globally). Such goods
include, but are not limited to, cultural artifacts, significant
works of art, environmental goods (e.g., water, air, recreation
areas, biodiversity, natural resources, beauty), intellectual
property, pharmaceutical and biological technology, media and
information. Theoretical papers on the nature of ownership and
property, diverse cultural perspectives on ownership, alternatives to
private property, limits of ownership or private property, and
possibilities of shared ownership are welcome, as are applied papers
on topics such as those listed.
Submission Deadlines: Completed papers due by March 1st, 2004.
Submissions should adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Papers must be original unpublished work.
2. Papers between 3500-5000 words (including footnotes and
bibliography) are preferred; however, papers of exceptional quality
of any length will be considered.
