Dear Colleagues,
One of the more interesting journals now being published is the Journal of Controversial Ideas. It is co-founded and edited by three distinguished philosophers, Jeff McMahan of Oxford, Francesca Minerva of Milan, and Peter Singer of Princeton.
https://journalofcontroversialideas.org
The home page states the mission of this journal:
“... the Journal of Controversial Ideas the first open access peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal specifically created to promote free inquiry on controversial topics.
"The Journal of Controversial Ideas offers a forum for careful rigorous unpolemical discussion of issues that are widely considered controversial in the sense that certain views about them might be regarded by many people as morally socially or ideologically objectionable or offensive. …
"We welcome submissions in all areas of academic research insofar as the topics discussed are relevant to society at large.We aim to publish papers that are likely to advance knowledge and promote free inquiry and rational argumentation.”
The articles in the Journal of Controversial Ideas are usually well-written and interesting. Because the editors encourage controversial ideas, they are often timely engagements with current debates in public life and academic life.
