Greetings ,

We are in a crazy time.  But we are going to have a fascinating Fall season.

Just think how many people can attend the conference this year from around the world.  Just think how interesting it will be to drink in a wide range of presentations without losing a full day.  Only 3 hours a day, only 4 weeks apart.  How capturing is that!

The Opening Session, September 22^nd,will focus on thinking and judging, thanks to Hartman’s influence. 

• The first, a panel, will involve learning: About how we can dig deeper as we try to make the world better through Hartman’s thinking.

• The second, a speaker, will involve doing: How can we more deeply understand how to use Hartman’s thinking in our work?

• The third, a panel, will involve bonding: How can we get in touch with Hartman as a person, thanks to those who knew him personally.

How could you want to miss something like this? 

Our world is wild these days.  Therefore, thinking new, and discovering streams of good, is what we can do to create a better future.  Each of us can take steps, a big one or a bit of one at a time.  That’s what we want to make easy for you to do, with your help.  For you will have the chance to grow our own thinking as well as growing yours, with your questions and comments in each session.

Think about joining us, seriously.  The experience will be richer as we reach out to one another.

Thanks for considering it! 

Finally, thanks to the wonderful members who were willing to put their name in to be possibly considered to join the Board.  The board members are delightfully impressed by them all and working hard to see who to choose. 

By the November session of the conference, you will be able to know who is finally selected.  All who agreed to consider it are amazing, so you will probably encounter even those who don’t make it, for they will probably become catalysts in our move toward the future.

Now take care of yourself and stay safe in this crazy time.  And come to the conference.

We are deeply excited to announce that submissions are closed for 2020 for the Journal of Formal Axiology: Theory and Practice.

In the coming months, we will be compiling these submitted works for publication and look forward to sharing Volume 13 of the journal with you soon.

While submissions for 2020 are closed, we are taking submissions for 2021. Guidelines for submission, as stated in the front pages of the Journal, are:

• This journal is published once a year by the Robert S. Hartman Institute. All articles must have an obvious connection with the formal axiology or value theory of Robert S. Hartman and its applications. Articles may be critical, constructive, creative, theoretical, or applied. None dealing with axiology, in general, will be considered. Articles must advance our understanding of Hartmanian axiology and/or what can be done with it. No manuscripts will be accepted that merely summarize what is already known, or that have been previously published, submitted, or accepted elsewhere.
• MANUSCRIPTS should be submitted as e-mail attachments to Cliff Hurst at: [email protected] They should be in MS Word format, 12 point type. Articles will be subject to blind review, so the name of and contact information for the author(s) should appear only on the title page, which will be deleted by the Editor before sending the article on to members of our Editorial Advisory Board or to other reviewers for their blind assessment of its worthiness for publication.

Also, remember that one of your RSHI Membership Benefits is access to all Journals, located in the Members Only Area. (If you are not a member yet, join here.)
