Drawing Out Ideas

Being a co-editor of a philosophical publication, a question is: just how are we different to the rest? Particularly in a time where several philosophical publications -- like us -- are seeking to philosophise "in our common language". Of course, every publication will be special from the point of view of having its own culture. But I think that we do go one step further than the rest. We have admitted philosophy from a musicologist, an artist, a monk, a poet, a scientist, and so on. At first glance, when we receive philosophy from such unusual sources, it might seem to be a jungle. But take a closer look, and one mostly finds powerful ideas, if one is willing to do some serious editing to draw them out.
