This new issue of Janus Head has something for everyone. Our two philosophical essays, by Gregory Kyle Klug and Stephen Hatton, are big picture endeavors with some fascinating details. Both essays are richly interdisciplinary from authors who have extensive backgrounds in multiple fields in the humanities and the fine arts.
We have added a section with fiction, which goes back to the roots of the journal’s inception. The stories were chosen for their philosophical themes along with their literary merit. I would like to thank Mark Pleiss and Jeremy Griffin, our new creative co-editors for their skills. Each issue of the journal is going to include fiction and, we are hoping, creative non-fiction.
Poetry is a mainstay and once again we have a fine collection in this issue. Thanks go to David Wolf for the cultivation of our poetry section.
Finally, we have included some visual art. This addition again goes back to the core mission of the journal.
I would like to thank the Philosophy Documentation Center (PDC) and the director George Leaman for continuous help and advice. It is not a simple matter to keep a smaller staffed journal going and we have benefitted greatly from the PDC. From this issue into the future Janus Head is published by the PDC. We are working on our author agreements and publication contracts. Our publication ethics statement is on this website and the PDC website.
