GUIDELINES FOR BOOK REVIEWS
In each book review, the reviewer should defend a thesis. The reviewer's thesis should advance an interpretative critique of the book under review. Also, the reviewer should state the thesis of the book under review. The reviewer should give the argument of the book, distinguishing premises from conclusions, discussing whether the argument of the book is valid. If the argument is invalid, the reviewer should supply a counterexample to the arugment. If the argument is valid, the reviewer should inform the intended audience whether the argument is sound.
The reviewer should treat his review as a compressed interpretation of a given book. His sentences should be succinct and grammatically well-formed. The reviewer should avoid the use of footnotes and should cite the book under examination within the body of the review. Each review should read more like a thoughtful, well-ordered report and analysis than a critical but tangential essay. The goal of the reviewer is to inform philosophers about a particular text so that philosophers can decide whether the content of the text warrants reading. It is in this advisory role that a good reviewer must cast himself.
All reviews should include the name, institution, mailing address, and e-mail address of the potential reviewer.
