“…As a result, we seem to have a good deal of information on the situation for authorship by gender in the US, but one might wonder whether the existing findings on author gender in philosophy journals is a problem belonging to the US and the Anglophone world. Some have speculated that the situation may be different elsewhere, especially in parts of the world more likely to engage with philosophies beyond the Analytic Tradition, such as Continental philosophy or Chinese philosophy (Klonschinski 2020;Klonschinski et al 2021;Iliadi et al 2018;Schwitzgebel et al 2018;Noichl 2021;Chiesa and Galeotti 2018).…”

Using bibliographic metadata from 177 Philosophy Journals between 1950 and 2020, this article presents new data on the under- representation of women authors in philosophy journals across decades and across four different compounding factors. First, we examine how philosophy fits in comparison to other academic disciplines. Second, we consider how the regional academic context in which Philosophy Journals operate impacts on author gender proportions. Third, we consider how the regional specialization of a journal impacts on author gender proportions. Fourth, and perhaps most interestingly, we consider the impact of author ethnicity on gender representation, and we examine the breakdown of author ethnicity across Philosophy Journals between 1950 and 2020. To our knowledge, this is the first work to offer an estimate for author ethnicity and gender in philosophy publications using a large- scale data set. We find that women authors are underrepresented in Philosophy Journals across time, across disciplines, across the globe, and regardless of ethnicity.

“…Such percentage changes might perhaps be seen as a consequence of more recent initiatives highlighting the poor representation of non-native English speakers in analytic philosophy: e.g.,Mizrahi 2013, Wolters 2013, Contessa 2014, Ayala-López 2015, Contesi and Terrone 2018aand 2018b, and Contesi 2021. See infra for a discussion of the lattermost initiative.…”

Philosophy is beginning to pay problems of linguistic justice the attention they deserve in today's heavily interconnected and migrant world. Contemporary philosophy itself, however, has a particular problem of linguistic justice that deserves metaphilosophical attention. At least in the philosophical tradition that is mainstream in much of the world today, viz., analytic philosophy, methodological and sociological mechanisms make it the case that the voices of non‐(native) Anglophone philosophers are substantially less heard. Among the mechanisms responsible for this situation, argues this paper, is the emphasis given by influential philosophical institutions to linguistic style and appearances as signs of clarity, precision, and rigour in the treatment of philosophical problems. Such an emphasis is not justifiable, in part because it deprives philosophy of a wider variety of perspectives. The paper concludes by presenting and motivating a recent initiative that aims to foster greater linguistic and cultural diversity within the profession.

This Element aims to introduce the different definitions of translation provided in the history of analytic philosophy. Starting from the definitions of translation as paraphrase, calculus, and language games, the Element explores the main philosophical-analytic notions used to explain translation from Frege and Wittgenstein onwards. Particular attention is paid to the concept of translation equivalence in the work of Quine, Davidson, and Sellars, and to the problem of translating implicit vs. explicit meaning into another language as discussed by Grice, Kripke, and the contemporary trends in analytic philosophy of language.
