Synthese Special Issue on "Evolution and Its Rivals"
Sign Now
We, as members of the philosophical community, call upon the Editors-in-Chief of Synthese to:
1. Respond forthrightly to the allegations in the 'open letter' from Glenn Branch and James Fetzer, the Guest Editors of the special issue on "Evolution and Its Rivals" (their open letter is available here:
http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2011/04/synthese-editors-cave-in-to-pressure-from-the-intelligent-design-lobby.html#tp)
2. Apologize to the Guest Editors and the contributors for the unprofessional manner in which this issue, and the insertion of a "disclaimer," were handled.
3. Retract the "disclaimer" in a subsequent print edition of Synthese.
4. Disclose the nature of complaints and/or legal threats from Francis Beckwith, his supporters, and supporters of Intelligent Design that were received by the Editors-in-Chief after the on-line publication of "Evolution and Its Rivals" last year.

A disclaimer could be appropriate only if it specified which papers were of concern, and probably not even then.
