This virtual issue (edited by Ann E. Cudd) brings together essays published over a twenty-year time span that address the question of women’s place in the profession of philosophy. It includes essays about women in the history of philosophy; empirical studies of the numbers of women at various stages in their careers; analytical essays about why women, including specifically women of color, are not reaching parity with white men in the profession; and what women are doing to change the representation of women in philosophy. By highlighting this important research, the virtual issue will contribute to the groundswell of efforts to make philosophy a more welcoming place for diverse people and ideas, thereby also improving the quality of philosophical thought.

- 50.1: “Epistemic Coherentism,” ed. Ted Poston
- 50.2: “Continental Philosophy: What and Where Will It Be?” ed. Ted Toadvine
- 50.3: “Newton and Newtonianism,” ed. Mary Domski
- 50.4: “Relativism about Value,” eds. Max Kölbel and Dan Zeman
Together, these issues will offer a “state of the discipline” look at key debates in contemporary philosophy.To be alerted when new issues publish, visit the SJP homepage and click “Get New Content Alerts” from the top left Journal Tools menu.
