BOOK REVIEWS

In addition to original scientific articles, Philosophy and Society also publishes Book Reviews. Book reviews must conform to the following rules:

• Books under review should not be published more than three years ago.
• Book reviews should be written in English or another world language.
• Book reviews are not subject to the double-blind peer review process, but editorial interventions are possible.
• Book reviews should be between 1.000 and 2.000 words in length.

General Guidelines:

What is a book review?

A book review seeks to inform scholars about the book’s topic, the quality of the book’s argumentation and to explain the book's contribution to the existing literature. A book review does not have to be exclusively positive; it may also indicate some key shortcomings or important disagreements with the author.

What should a book review contain?

A book review should include the following:

1) Information about the book (author, title, publication place, publication house, publication date)

2) Name and surname as well as the affiliation of the book-reviewer

3) The text of the book review which should include the following:

(a) a short introductory paragraph which presents the main thesis and organization of the book, as well as its place in the existing literature

(b) summary, analysis and/or critique of the book's main arguments

(c) a short concluding paragraph in which authors may answer the following questions: what are the main advantages and disadvantages of the book? Is the book written in a clear way? Does the book author refer to the relevant existing literature on the topic? Would you recommend the book and to whom?

What a book review should not contain?

A book review is not a review article. Therefore, citing other authors as well as using highly technical language is strongly discouraged. The book review should be concise and written in a clear way.
