Call for Papers
The next issue is on ‘Phenomenology and Existentialism’. All submissions should be between 1000 and 1500 words, and emailed to dialecticsubmissions@gmail.com in Word (or equivalent) format.
No submissions after Monday the 20th Februrary will be considered.
In a submission we value clarity over all else. All the originality in the world won’t make a poorly written article good. It is suggested that the argument be simple and obviously stated. Prior philosophical knowledge may be assumed, but detailed terminology needs to be explained adequately. We expect full Harvard referencing (preferably in a bibliographical format, as opposed to footnotes, though we accept both).
On a topic such as ‘Phenomenology and Existentialism’ there will be inevitably large portions of Historical Philosophy. This will not be penalised against, and interpretive exposition is valued just as highly as new ideas.
If you have any further questions, please email dialecticsubmissions@gmail.com
Good Luck!

I’m afraid we don’t really have a mailing list – however everything will be posted on this website. If you have facebook you could also join the facebook group – search for Dialectic (York Philosophy Society)

Can I send you my paper even if I’m not a student of the University of York?

Yes, you can send a paper if you are not a student at York. In fact the majority of the articles are usually written by people who are not students at York.

I am interested in submitting a paper, but I’m a bit confused about the submission guidelines. You ask that papers conform to a specific style outlined on the “Submission Guidelines” page, but the papers published in the last issue do not seem to conform to this. For example, “The Culture Industry” looks like it utilizes a Chicago Citation style which includes, for example, placing publisher and publisher location in parentheses, and this contradicts the style outlined. These might be silly questions, but here they are: Which guideline should I follow? Is Chicago an acceptable citation style?

Kevin,
Thank you for your interest in submitting a paper. Typically, we would prefer a Harvard style of referencing, and if you are aware of this system we would request you use it. However, we would not want something as trivial as ‘style’ of referencing getting in the way of an accurate reference, or indeed, of a certain flow of ideas. If you feel considerably more comfortable using Chicago citation, then this would be acceptable also.

Generally I don’t read post on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to take a look at and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite great article.
