Complimentary issue of Philosophical Books

Philosophical Books, Edited by David Sosa, have just released a complimentary issue.

A little bit about the journal: Philosophical Books carries extensive discussions of major new publications in all areas of philosophy. The journal features longer critical notices, substantial treatments of important recent books.

Apparently from 2011, they are going to focus on peer-reviewed research articles—original philosophical work in all areas of philosophy (book symposia, critical notices, and reviews will still be carried, as well as “discussions” and other sorts of philosophical pieces).
