Views of Prof. Peter Hare (on prospects for a philosophy magazine for the educated public) as interpreted by Prof. Raymond Pfeiffer (with the help of Prof. Ralph Forsberg) resulting from a dinner conversation with the three at the Central Division of the APA in Pittsburgh, April 25, 1997. Professor Hare has, for some time, been keenly interested in the development of a magazine which presents philosophical ideas to the educated public in an interesting and entertaining format. He believes that such a magazine should have such features as: 1) Variety in subjects, form of presentation, authors, the size and kinds of printed articles and media used. Such a magazine should include puzzles (such as logic puzzles), drawings, cartoons, photographs, short paradoxes with comments, interviews with celebrities such as Harrison Ford (a philosophy major) and Woody Allen, poetry, art, comedy, science fiction and discussions of philosophical themes in movies and videos. A major goal of the magazine should be to bring our philosophical ideas which are contained in such cultural expressions. 2) A title which does not include the word Ôphilosophy.Õ Hare believes such a word is for too many people a pejorative, which would serve to repel rather than attract interest. He thinks the magazine should be philosophical in emphasis rather than overtly and exclusively. He envisions more of a magazine of ideas in general than of philosophical ideas. 3) Broad backing from the intellectual community, not simply from a collection of philosophers trying to popularize their subject. It should avoid being a trade magazine which just presents more philosophical articles, research and subtle and intricate philosophical analysis and argumentation in an attractive format. Such an approach would, he believes, surely attract little or no interest. The magazine may focus on what philosophers know to be philosophical questions and issues, but should treat them in a broad and generally interesting way which deemphasizes the identification of the writings with the discipline of philosophy. It should be directed to have broad appeal to the educated public.
