Call For Papers OtherWise Journal

OtherWise, the online journal of philosophy published by the Philosophy Student Association based at Kennesaw State University, is calling for both graduate and undergraduate papers dealing with any philosophically relevant themes or studies.

Although OtherWise is open to all philosophical topics, and gladly reviews all submissions, its primary focus is to provide a venue for continental, ancient, Asian, and comparative issues.

We welcome and encourage any work you have to share!
