"Philosophical Explorations has published a really fascinating range of articles since its inception. It has been more consistently interesting in that period than the established journals in the field."

Hans Joas, Erfurt Universitt, Germany
"In an astonishingly short time, Philosophical Explorations - based in the Netherlands - has established itself as one of the best places in the world for a lively and productive dialogue between "continental" and "analytic" philosophers and between both and the social sciences."

Pascal Engel, Sorbonne, Paris
"It can no longer be ignored by anybody who cares for this dialogue. Philosophical Explorations imposed itself in few years as one of the best journals in contemporary philosophy. It has published an impressive number of first-rate papers by leading philosophers and by younger scholars on a wide range of issues, from philosophy of mind and action to social theory, ethics and politic philosophy, and in many other areas. It is now an invaluable instrument of exchange between the emerging forces of European philosophy and the rest of the philosophical community."

Lynne R. Baker, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
"Philososphical Explorations fills an important niche, with first-rate articles on current topics in the philosophy of mind and action from philosophers across the English-speaking world. It bridges the gap between the analytic and Continental traditions by publishing articles that exhibit conceptual clarity and sharpness of argument, while focusing on themes central to our self-understanding. In a few years, Philosophical Explorations has attained a worldwide readership that makes it ideal as an inter-continental forum for philosophy."

John Haldane, St. Andrews University, Scotland
"I regard Philosophical Explorations as a very welcome addition to the field. First, the area of philosophy of mind, language, society, and value within which it operates is now at the heart of contemporary philosophy in the English-speaking world. Second, the style of paper and the quality of authors that it has been able to attract make it a helpful guide to what is current. I wish it continued success."

Theo A.F. Kuipers, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
"To be honest, at the beginning it seemed to me an enterprise worth trying, but not very likely to succeed. However, I must confess that the aim of bridging in the philosophy of mind and action on an international level the gap between analytical philosophers and, on the one hand, continental philosophers and, on the other, social scientists is rather successfully achieved. Philosophical Explorations should certainly be continued and become even more distributed."

Fred Stoutland, University of Uppsala, Sweden
Philosophical Explorations' defining aim is to publish high quality papers which exemplify analytic standards of clarity and argument but which cut across the grain of current orthodoxy and attempt to strike out in new directions. This is a worthy aim, very difficult to attain, but the journal has achieved it often enough to have made a place for itself in the philosophical community, both for its readers and for those who want a place to publish original work.

Adam Morton, University of Alberta, Canada
When you open a philosophical journal you want to find interesting articles. But you also want them to be carefully argued and to take account of the literature. So you want editors and referees to strike a balance: accepting articles that make you think, while rejecting articles that are too hasty or too ignorant. And in the large overlap between these you want them to exercise a delicate judgement. *Philosophical Explorations* exercises the judgement almost ideally. In every issue there are articles well worth reading, and there are rarely articles that are too experimental or too derivative. A small miracle.
