... anyone know if there are philosophy journals out there that would publish
something written in Wittgensteinian format? (Numbered sequential thoughts,
chasing a point of concern against ordinary methods of expression, and using
simile a lot). I ask this out of curiosity, not for anything else. In fact, the
reason why I ask is because I assume most surely the answer is "no," given the
way that the form of "scholarship" is constructed today. Then again, I wonder
if politics doesn't play a role. If Wittgensteinians amounted to any legitimate
presence at all in the academy, wouldn't it be worthwhile to have a
Wittgensteinian journal that could publish things relevant to Wittgenstein,
including book reviews, conventional articles, news, conferences -- and yes,
attempts at the almighty's methods (assuming it was good).
I would love to start a journal one day. What does that cost? Imagine a yearly
volume of Wittrs. (Now imagine a quarterly!). Surely there would be enough
Wittgenstein-relevant matters to have such a thing and enough of an audience to
sustain it in the academy.
Why isn't such a thing around? (Or is it?)
Regards.
