Call for papers: Early modern Baconians: science, politics and philosophy
This special issue of SOCIETY AND POLITICS aims to gather together articles dealing with the formation, evolution and influence of Francis Bacon’s thought. We are particularly interested in articles exploring the influence of Francis Bacon’s ideas upon seventeenth and eighteenth century European thought: from science to politics, and from religion to the evolution of literary forms and genres. Our purpose is to accommodate a diversity of approaches, coming from different fields. We welcome articles on experiment and experimental science, natural history, medicine of the mind, the Baconian ‘method’, the advancement of learning, religion and theology, politics and the reformation of law, fables and projects for ‘scientific’ or ‘esoteric’ societies (inspired by Francis Bacon’s writings). SOCIETY AND POLITICS welcomes research coming from different fields and strongly encourages cross-disciplinary approaches.
SOCIETY AND POLITICS is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by “Vasile Goldiș” Western University of Arad, Romania. See http://uvvg.ro/socpol/.

PENTRU ELEVI
Facultatea de Filosofie a Universităţii din Bucureşti inaugurează Concursul Anual de Eseuri Filosofice pentru Elevi. Cele mai bune douăzeci de eseuri vor fi postate pe site-ul Facultăţii.
Concursul se adresează în principal elevilor pentru care e prevăzut în curriculum studiul Filosofiei în anul şcolar curent (clasa a XII-a); dar sunt bineveniţi şi elevii din clasele a IX-a, a X-a şi a XI-a, dacă, printre autorii lor preferaţi au apărut, în ultimul timp, şi filosofi.
Pentru prima ediţie, Facultatea noastră nu propune o temă anume, dând concurenţilor posibilitatea ca, împreună cu profesorii coordonatori şi în funcţie de afinităţile şi interesele lor de studiu, de stadiul lecturilor filosofice etc., să decidă despre ce şi cum vor trata în eseu, dar respectând normele din Ghidul pentru redactarea unui eseu filosofic.
Un elev se poate înscrie în concurs cu un singur eseu.

Public Reason publishes articles, book reviews, as well as discussion notes from all the fields of political philosophy and ethics, including political theory, applied ethics, and legal philosophy. The journal encourages the debate around rationality in politics and ethics in the larger context of the discussion concerning rationality as a philosophical problem. Public Reason is committed to a pluralistic approach, promoting interdisciplinary and original perspectives as long as the ideal of critical arguing and clarity is respected. The journal is intended for the international philosophical community, as well as for a broader public interested in political and moral philosophy. It aims to promote philosophical exchanges with a special emphasis on issues in, and discussions on the Eastern European space.
