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, medical 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 of private
property, and possibilities of shared ownership are welcome, as are
applied papers on topics such as those listed.
Submission Deadline: Completed papers due by April 31st,
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 Papers must be original unpublished work.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.
