Via Keith DeRose (Yale), I see that the Philosophers' Annual is coming back to life, and so will try to pick some of the best philosophy papers of 2007. Their process is a bit opaque (but their track record is pretty good), but I believe that members of the editorial board nominate papers, and then the four lead editors (only two of whom are still at Stony Brook, as Baynes has moved to Syracuse and Ludlow to Toronto) pick the winners from those papers nominated.
So readers, which papers from 2007 would you pick as among the "best"? The editorial board is a bit thin on scholars of ancient philosophy and post-Kantian Continental philosophy (though fortunately one of the four lead editors, Baynes, is an important scholar of German philosophy), so suggestions in those fields would be particularly welcome. Signed comments only. Please be patient, they may take awhile to appear. I may post my own picks in a couple of days, but will let others weigh in first.
