JMB welcomes unsolicited book reviews. What makes JMB distinctive is that it favors review essays akin to what used to be called a "Critical Notice": close-grained reviews of around 5,000 words that become a genuine contribution to the secondary literature. Authors wishing to submit book reviews are urged to write with the above interdisciplinary framework firmly in mind.

Reviews should be absent of all titles except the name of the work reviewed, author of work reviewed, place of publication, publisher, date of latest publication, number of pages, and cost An example of a JMB review will be made available to act as a stylesheet.

 

For books in cognitive science, the philosophy of mind, consciousness studies, the sociology of scientific knowledge and social philosophy.
