[PhilPhys] CFP: Philosophy of Vectors

[Wuthrich, Christian]

Call for Papers

Special Issue of dialectica
The Metaphysics of Vectors

Guest editors: Philipp Keller, Stephan Leuenberger

Philosophical theorizing about the nature of properties has usually focussed on examples that are all-or-nothing (red, square), and scalar valued (mass, temperature). Properties with more complex values, such as vectorial properties (velocity, field strength) have not received much attention. To redress this imbalance, dialectica invites submissions for publication in a special issue on the metaphysics of vectors in the first half of 2009. 

Please send a pdf prepared for blind reviewing to philipp.keller at lettres.unige.ch and stephan at coombs.anu.edu.au

Deadline for Submissions: October 1, 2008.
Notification of Acceptance: January 1, 2009.
Final version due: March 1, 2009.
