200 000 Philosophy Reads

As a co-editor of the weekly Pi (Philosophical Investigations) I conjured up a brief draft editorial today to celebrate 200 000 pageviews. Two editors launched Pi Beta (Pi Alpha died with the system host). I joined the team shortly thereafter, as one of us (now three) faded into the background. Over its brief history, Pi has celebrated:

• Author diversity. Writers from (inter alia) the UK, USA, Germany, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, India, China, and South Africa
• Original perspectives. In political philosophy, ethics, the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, literature, science, poetry, art and 'the trenches'
• Quality and readability. Scholarly contributions in an accessible style, expertly edited for quality and consistency

OBSERVATION: Something that sets this publication apart  is that we publish philosophy, regardless of its source. This means that, apart from philosophers, we have published people of diverse walks of life, inter alia a monk, a poet, a policeman, a translator, an engineer, a judge, and a psychologist.
