Announcing the Inaugural Issue

Dear Authors, Editors, and Friends of the Journal,

With great pleasure, I announce the publication of the inaugural issue of Philosopher’s Compass: The WEDO Journal of Interdisciplinary Philosophy. Published by the World Eco-Design Organization (WEDO), this debut edition features contributions from esteemed scholars, including renowned philosopher Slavoj Žižek, alongside three professors, five associate professors, two assistant professors, two lecturers, and numerous other researchers from institutions around the globe.

In addition to Žižek’s special contribution, the issue comprises twelve rigorously reviewed research papers grouped under three thematic categories: General Philosophy, Philosophy of Technology, and Philosophy of Design. Together, these papers offer innovative explorations on topics ranging from algorithmic normativity to design ethics, combining philosophical theories with experimental and interdisciplinary approaches.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our authors, associate editors, advisory editors, external reviewers, and support team whose invaluable contributions have made this publication possible. Individual articles and the full issue can be accessed here.

Sincerely,

Kan Zhang

Managing Editor
