Mind & Society is an
academic journal whose main aim is to study
the relationships between mental and social
phenomena.
In general, Mind & Society gives priority
to papers on the following topics: the concept
of mind of social actor; the relationships
between mind and action and between action
and social phenomena; cognitive models of
reasoning, decision-making and action; descriptive,
normative and prescriptive principles of action;
formal, computational and neural models of
social phenomena; explanatory reduction of
social phenomena.
Mind & Society believes in the need for an
interdisciplinary approach to these problems.
In fact, it publishes papers from the following
academic disciplines: epistemology; philosophy
of the mind, of action, of science, of social
sciences and of economics; methodology of
social sciences and of economics; cognitive
psychology of reasoning, problem solving and
decision-making; social psychology; cognitive
anthropology; artificial intelligence; neural
modelling; economics (e.g.: consumer theory;
innovation; institution and management); sociology
(e.g.: social learning, negotiation, organisation
and culture); political science (e.g.: voter
behaviour, democracy, leadership and international
relations). Since Mind & Society is a goal-oriented
journal, papers from different academic disciplines
must share, more or less directly, the journal's
epistemological programme - namely, the explanation
of social phenomena through individual action,
decision-making and reasoning processes -
or, at least, should refer to its content
priorities.
Mind & Society is a biannual journal. It publishes
papers reporting the original results of empirical
research or theoretical analysis. Some issues
of the journal will be monographic, but most
of the published papers are unsolicited contributions
from members of the scientific community.
Each paper submitted for publication is evaluated
by three international referees who assess
its suitability for publication on the basis
of the following criteria: originality, methodological
exactitude and consistency with the aims and
content priorities of the journal.
