 EDITORIAL POLICY (excerpt)

 Philosophia Mathematica is a refereed journal that sets out 
 to disseminate new work in the philosophy of pure and 
 applied mathematics including computing, and, by doing so, 
 to be a means of promoting world-wide scholarly discussion. 

 Philosophy of mathematics is distinct from mathematics and 
 mathematical logic; it is connected with metaphysics, 
 epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of 
 science, and ethics. Because of these multiple connections, 
 papers will emphasize a variety of viewpoints. Papers will 
 also vary in the levels of sophistication (mathematical and 
 philosophical) required to read them. Each issue of the 
 journal should have something for both teachers of 
 mathematics and teachers of philosophy, including papers 
 concerning the creation and state of pure mathematics, the 
 learning of mathematics, and the application of 
 mathematics, including computation. By publishing research 
 papers on philosophy of mathematics and related topics from 
 a wide range of standpoints, and by insisting on a high 
 standard of philosophical reasoning and writing, 
 Philosophia Mathematica hopes to appeal to scholars---both 
 mathematical and philosophical. Book reviews (by 
 invitation) and helpful expository papers will also be 
 published.

 My interest? I think it's an important journal that should 
 be more widely known, and I both contribute to it and serve 
 on the editorial panel.
