EPISTEME: A Move and Reincarnation

[Leslie]

EPISTEME announces an impending move and transformation. With the
first issue of 2012 we begin publication with Cambridge University
Press and expand our scope from social epistemology specifically to
all of epistemology. Our new title will be: EPISTEME, A Journal of
Individual and Social Epistemology. Since 2004 EPISTEME has published
with Edinburgh University Press. With Cambridge we shall publish four
issues per year, approximately 500 pages per volume. Cambridge will
include EPISTEME in a bundle of journals to which 1,500 institutions
already subscribe.

Scope and Mission Statement. EPISTEME is a general journal of
epistemology in the analytic tradition that invites both informal and
formal approaches. Among its primary “traditional” topics are
knowledge, justification, evidence, reasons, rationality, skepticism,
truth, probability, epistemic norms and values, and methodology. The
journal devotes special attention to topics in social epistemology,
including testimony, trust, disagreement, relativism, diversity and
expertise, collective judgment, and the epistemic assessment of social
institutions (e.g., science, law, democracy, and the media). The
Journal welcomes interdisciplinary approaches to epistemology that
borrow methods from allied disciplines such as experimental
psychology, linguistics, economics, game theory, evolutionary theory,
and computer simulation studies. We do not publish purely historical
work or case studies.
