The editor of the Dictionary of Early American Philosophers seek authors for the following thinkers, mostly in history, legal theory, political science, economics, and sociology.
The due date is February 2010. The length of articles is negotiable. Short articles (up to 1000 words) pay $30, medium articles (1000-2500 words) pay $50, and long articles (over 2500 words) pay $100.
Because this is a work about philosophical thinking, some discussion of the philosophical content and implications of each figure’s work is required, alongside the usual academic biography.
Information about reference works on these figures is available at http://www.pragmatism.org/deap/
