Introduction
THE PERUVIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHILOSOPHY´s PUBLICATIONS ASSOCIATION
(AERPFA), a non profit organisation, is interested to divulge an applied,
humanist, alternative, critical, and alive philosophy for people through
lectures, and audiovisual and printed media in Spanish
(More info
in the AERPFA´s Manifesto).
We specially welcome papers and (manuscripts of) books on:
-Applied Philosophy to problems of health, education, law, society,
politics, ecology, religion, etc.
-Applied Ethics to daily, social, professional and bussiness problems.
-Bioethics (animal ethics, abortion, assisted fertilization, environment
ethics, euthanasia, genetic engineering, transplants, etc.)
-Skepticism about paranormal, supernatural and pseudoscientific claims.
We have also several interests in History of Philosophy.
No matter if author is famous, Peruvian, professional or not. Our goals
are to divulge thinkers of a) other tongues into Spanish, and b) Peruvian
ones (preferible those who have no easy access to publish).
Send both your manuscripts for periodicals (c. 10 pages A-4 in single
space) and abstracts (about 5 lines) both in Spanish and English or reviews
-not longer than 2 pages- by e-mail to:
Lic. Manuel A. Paz
y Miño, President, AERPFA,
