Vol. 1, No. 2 (Fall 2018)

We are excited to present the second issue of the Public Philosophy Journal, a special issue dedicated to exploring “The New Ethics of Food.” In this issue, you will find essays first developed at the PPJ’s Collaborative Writing Workshop in 2017. That year’s theme was “Collegiality and Public Life,” and the composers have lived that theme in their working together—before, during, and since the workshop—as academics, activists, and community members. Featuring an introduction by guest editors Zachary Piso and Gretel Van Wieren, who also co-facilitated Formative Peer Review for each piece, this is a special issue of the PPJ not only because it focuses on a special topic (Food Ethics), but also because it epitomizes the PPJ’s core values of thick collegiality and diversity, equity, and inclusion. We hope it inspires as much as it models the PPJ’s commitment to producing scholarship shaped by the public.
