Royce Centennial Issue

In honor of the centennial of Josiah Royce’s death, the Josiah Royce Society and The Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society would like to announce a call for submissions for a special issue devoted to Royce to be published in 2016. 

We welcome any high-quality scholarship on Royce’s thought, but are especially interested in historical and philosophical work on both under-studied influences on Royce and his own hidden influence on the twentieth century. Some possible topics include, but are not limited to:

● Reexaminations of Royce’s studies in Germany and at Johns Hopkins, as well as his years teaching at Berkeley
● Royce’s interest in Asian philosophies 
● Reconsideration of Royce’s engagement with other classical pragmatists
● Reassessments of papers in The Philosophical Review (25.3 1916) issue devoted to Royce
● Royce’s role in bringing attention to the work of Friedrich Nietzsche
● Royce’s engagement with Continental phenomenology, and comparisons of his work with the British Idealists
● Royce’s influence on his students, such as W.E.B. DuBois, C.I. Lewis., and George Santayana
● Royce’s concept of the “Beloved Community” and its adaption by Martin Luther King, Jr.
● Royce’s work as an historian, novelist, and psychologist
