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.
