Matjaz Potrc founded journal Acta Analytica that shifted to Roell Verlag Wuerzburg, then to Transaction publishers Rutgers, now to Springer Editors. On Christmas day, the current editor Danilo Suster let us know that Acta is included in the Arts and Humanities citation index. This is his letter, with the mentioned link:

Po podatkih (sicer se neuradnih, od avtorja v AA), naj bi bila Acta vkljucena v Arts & Humanities Citation Index. Kot sem preveril, je res na njihovem seznamu:

Dobre novice za Bozic!

OK, Acta is published by Springer now.

Luca on phenomenal concepts

On December 17th, 2008, Luca Malatesti delivered two lectures on phenomenal concepts. The first lecture took a look at Mary and her qualitative knowledge. One explanation comes from demonstrative take on phenomenology. The second lecture dealt with Kripke's conceivability arguments in direction of dualism. Demonstrative explanation was found to be too thin and reflexive, lacking the qualitative dimension. Luca's contingent travel plans finally reached Ljubljana destination; we hope to be with him again soon. It is uncertain wether this will be Habermas Pecs Hungary meeting or Dubrovnik Attention symposium, both to take place in spring of 2009.

Communication and mobbing

In november I had presentation of my communication-intention views. And I was with Seppo Sajama at his Ljubljana lecture. Then we visited people interested in the law concerning mobbing in Croatia, in Rijeka and Zagreb. Seppo is involved in writing a study concerning this. Mobbing is harassment at the work place and it is a controversial juridical topics, so that even philosophers may strive towards some conceptual illumination. Today I had two lectures roughly on the topics of virtue epistemology. I also produced some phenomenology geared criticism of virtue epistemology in my notes but did not have time to present it. Today I received news that on Wednesday December 10th at 2pm in Slon I will be granted recognition of excellence given by Filozofska fakulteta Ljubljana, for my work and especially for this year's publications (MIT, Routledge NY).
