The Journal of Public Philosophy has been the official publication of the Public Philosophy Society for the past two years. As of May of 2021, the Journal will be transferred to and become the official peer-reviewed academic journal of Clarity Fund. Clarity Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit think-tank whose mission is to educate on the Moral Law clear from the general revelation of God's existence. Read more about Clarity Fund here: https://clarityfund.org/
The goal of the Journal is to publish papers, essays, and book reviews in the mode of classical philosophy. We seek to know the basic truths that are foundational for the common good and just and civil society.
The goal of public philosophy is to make the practice of philosophy more accessible and more relevant to students, scholars, and the broadly educated public. Public philosophy is inspired by Socrates’ engagement in dialogue in the agora, the shared public space of the city-state. It is the pursuit of the common good, our shared life together.
We are currently accepting paper submissions, essays, and book reviews that are in line with the goals of Clarity Fund and the aim of public philosophy for Issue 3 of the Journal of Public Philosophy. The deadline for submissions for Issue 3 is August 1, 2021, for winter publication. Please send submissions to Kelly Fitzsimmons Burton at [email protected]
Also, check out the beautiful cover art for Issue 2 by @VeritasGirl. Issue 2 will be ready for publication within the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more information!
I was out in the studio making videos today, and I was thinking about how grateful I am to have you in this community. Thank you for your support. Here is a little video.
Hello, welcome to my Locals community, where we engage in the life of the mind together. I hope that we can take all the great discussions that we have had through YouTube, Facebook, in a college class, in the Public Philosophy Society, at a Ratio Christi meeting, at a coffee shop, or wherever we have had the chance to converse, and continue that discussion here.
I want to foster ongoing conversation among like-minded individuals based on shared common ground to make progress towards unity in the faith and of the faith.
By joining the community, you will have access to exclusive video and audio content that I am creating, live online discussion groups, book reviews, updates, and socializing with a great bunch of people.
Do you enjoy philosophy, Christianity, books, apologetics, Bible study, coffee, spiritual growth, and friendship? These are a few of our values. Join us.
On April 20, I posted an audio recording for the community on "Tips for Time Management." Since then, I have had some feedback and questions. Here is a follow-up audio recording with more tips. Please leave your questions and feedback below.
A member of our community asked me for some tips for time management. Because I like to maximize my energy, instead of just shooting off a quick email response, I decided to make an audio recording, hoping that what I have learned through suffering will benefit others.
If you want to add some time management tips of your own, please feel free to do so in the comments below.
I made a short audio recording reflecting on wonder, brokenness, misunderstandings of reason and the individual, and how to fix brokenness with covenant communities, like this one. Your input is welcome.
If you find this content valuable, please consider becoming a supporter of this community (if you have not done so already).
Dear Friends,
Hello, I want to thank you all for your support over the years. As my ministry work centers more on The Logos Foundation and publications for Public Philosophy Press and Logos Papers Press, I cannot continue active engagement on the Locals site. I have appreciated each one of you and your contribution to this community.
Please be sure to discontinue your monthly contributions. If you want to continue the conversation, please find me on Facebook under Kelly Burton in Young, AZ. Here is where to find me: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089962201011
I will leave the Locals page up for a time.
Thank you again for your support, encouragement, and engagement.
Yours,
Kelly
For those of you who might be interested in Philosophy courses and critical thinking, I have setup a course on The Socratic Method that teaches students the principles of the method and gives them weekly guided discussion sessions so that they can practice and develop their skills.
If any of you might be interested in this (or know someone who) but have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me and let me know or you can even book a free consultation if you want to get a feel for the method in practice:
