                   UNESCO-EOLSS Encyclopedia Project

                              CALL FOR AUTHORS

UNESCO is sponsoring a large-scale encyclopedia that is to include articles
in all areas of philosophy.  An outgrowth of several United Nations earth
summits, the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems is directed at concerns
of sustainable development broadly conceived and ranging over issues of
science, technology, economics, and social policy.  Philosophy is being
given a fundamental place in the encyclopedia for its role in the
foundations of knowledge.

The UNESCO-EOLSS project will result in one of the largest encyclopedias
ever produced and will be published in CD-rom format.  The Board of General
Advisors is comprised of over a dozen Nobel Laureates, as well as several
UN Kalinga Laureates and World Food Prize Laureates.  Articles in all major
areas of philosophy from epistemology, metaphysics, logic, ethics and
values, and also the history of philosophy will be included, a few between
10-15,000 words, but most between 5-10,000 words.  Authors will receive
honoraria from the publisher at rates dependent on length.

If you are interested in participating in the exciting UNESCO-EOLSS project
and would like further information on it, as well as a list of topics to be
included, please e-mail Thomas Magnell, the Honorary Theme Editor for
Philosophy.
