What do we offer in the present combined issue? First a rich dish of six full articles: one by Soren Engelson on attitude-dependent accounts of value, and Edward Hackett on 'The Becoming of the Personal Sphere: A Proposed Framework for Personalist Philosophical Anthropology', both inspired by Max Scheler, the great German personalist philosopher; Abigail Klassen defending 'folk psychology' against the Churchlands' eliminative materialism, but with a twist at the end; Jane Kisbey on the moral responsibility of psychopaths; Daniel Paksi's final instalment of his 'Medium Emergence'; and Alan Ford on despair and integrity in Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky and others. Next comes my own short Discussion piece, urging caution about the 'the common good' lest it excludes much needed uncommon ones, and finally reviews of three important books.
