Please pay careful attention when copyediting these files and be sure not to overedit. This is a concern which the editorial office has mentioned, which has occurred with the last two issues of PHIL. There were some cases where words were added or removed that changed the original meaning intended by the author. So light copyediting is needed and if there are any questions, please embed queries for the author or contact the PE directly.

Numbered

Thinking about the limits of language from the perspective of its beginning and end, the Tractatus can be read roughly along these three lines of interpretations:

  1. The ineffable reading: there is a domain outside language which language itself can only show but not say.
  2. The austere reading: the whole talk of the limits of language is confused; there is nothing that language cannot say.

extracts/quotes

Example:

Don’t, for heavens sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.

The reading presented here maintains that the say/show distinction is neither a piece of simple nonsense nor an indication of a metaphysical domain outside language.

Note:

•If a quotation runs ≤4 lines and requires no special emphasis, put it in quotation marks and incorporate it into the text. Otherwise, set it off from the text (usually introduced by a colon) by beginning a new line, indenting one inch from the left margin, without adding quotation marks. The sentence following the quoted material should not be indented.

footnotes

Notes:

  • All the references should be inserted as footnotes. No reference section at the end.
  • Follow MLA for references in footnotes.
  • Footnotes may be used for discursive purposes as well for citing references.
  • Citations in text are superscript Arabic numbers following punctuation. e.g.,

Each side has stated its point clearly and produced weighty evidence against the opponent.21

•Examples of footnotes when citing references:

20Author, “Article Title,” Journal Title Volume no. (Year): 00–00.

  • Some publishers should be abbreviated like this:

Oxford University Press: Oxford UP.

University of California Press: U of California P.’

  • List the author’s full name when first mentioned, then only surname.
  • Page range: 44–49, 101–07, 180–87, 105–14
  • Reference abbreviations: ch., sect., trans., pt., ed. (not eds), par.
  • T. E. Hill Jr.
  • 'Ethics 110 (July 2000): 669–96, p. 687'—"669-96" indicates the total length of the article and the following "p. 687" indicates the specific page where the quotation is from. Normally, both of them are included in the citation, and the specific page number MUST be included; if so we will remove 'p.' to make them consistentin all cases (so that the above case will become 'Ethics 110 (July 2000): 669–96,687').
  • 24See esp. Diamond (1991) and Crary and Read (2002).—no comma follows after “See”. Therefore '24See, for example, ...' should be changed to '24See for example, ...' to follow journal style.
  • 26Ramsey (1931): 263.—colon missing after the year. All such cases should have a colon after the year to follow journal style.

table/figure citations

Examples:

Figures 1 and 2 show…

tables/figureS, table/figure legends

Example:

Figure1Scruton’s derivation of constraints.

Notes:

  • Legend IDs and legends should be left aligned and in sentence case, with full stop.
  • Source of the table and other notes immediately follow the table.
  • Table footnotes are designated with superscript lowercase letters rather than numerals.
  • Figures may be sized up to 114 mm.
