Extract

In this issue we publish memorial notices about two of the CJP’s founders, Terence Penelhum and Kai Nielsen. In addition to conveying their personal qualities and professional accomplishments, each of them vividly reminds one that it is owing largely to the supererogatory efforts of some of us, that the infrastructure is in place to help all of us thrive as philosophers. We here at the CJP are, of course, very grateful to Professors Nielsen and Penelhum for their efforts, with others, in founding this Journal. But I think that all philosophers should be grateful, not only for their efforts but for all similar below-the-radar efforts that our fellow philosophers around the world make every day. For me this especially includes our 17 Executive Editors, our Editorial Assistant, and the several hundred philosophers who help us each year with referee reports. It is impressive and humbling to see such conscientious effort put into the continued thriving of our community.
