The issue is billed as being “free”, but this seems now to be untrue; is this a software glitch? Trying to access the papers leads to a set of prices for different versions — only the abstracts are in fact free, as with other journal issues.
Hi Peter, we’re so glad you are interested in this content. When we free issues or articles like this, it is for a limited time only. This post is a few years old, so we had to put the issue back behind the pay wall. However, Philosophical Investigations does have a free sample issue each year. Here is a link to the free 2016 sample issue: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/phin.2016.39.issue-1/issuetoc
