Bowling Green Studies in Applied Philosophy
Edited by the Philosophy Faculty, Bowling Green State University
The eight volumes in this series explore the philosophical implications of social problems whose
solutions require rational planning and decision making. The series was produced as part of an effort
by the philosophy department at Bowling Green State University to develop an understanding of
"applied" philosophy as a tool for addressing life problems that confront individuals and society on a
daily basis. Unlike pure philosophy, the ultimate concern of applied philosophy is with the implications
of theory for human action. Annual conferences were held at Bowling Green from 1979 to 1986 to examine
various metaphysical, epistemological and ethical issues in applied philosophy, and a selection of the
papers presented at each conference was assembled for each volume. These volumes were published by the Applied
Philosophy Program at Bowling Green State University with the support of the Philosophy Documentation Center.
Contributors to the series include Frithjof Bergmann, Myles Brand, David Hoekema, Jaegwon Kim, Joseph Margolis, Jan Narveson, Douglas Rasmussen, Nicholas Rescher, Robert Solomon, James Sterba
and Iris Young. The tables of contents of all eight volumes are listed
below. Electronic access to the fulltext of all volumes in the series is
provided through POIESIS: Philosophy Online Serials.
