1) Seaburn Books is seeking
to publish a series of ten books, each of which will deal with the
life, thought, and contemporary relevance of one of
the world’s great philosophers.
Each book thus should be divided into these three sections.
2) While each book
should be scholarly, we are asking that the primary focus be
accessibility to the average reader. Seaburn is hoping to make the
great ideas palatable to the general public. Our purpose is to
disseminate knowledge in an enjoyable manner, not to perpetuate the
obfuscation which is all too common in academic writing. In order to
implement this policy footnotes should be avoided.
3) The ten philosophers
who are to comprise the subject matter for the series are the following:
1)
Plato
6)
Rene Descartes
(submitted by Prof. Glenn Statile)
2)
Aristotle 7)
Hume
3)
Augustine 8)
Kant
4)
Thomas Aquinas 9)
Heidegger
5)
Machiavelli
10)
Sartre
11)
Parmenides
4) The
prospective author should consult the guidelines for submission at
www.seaburn.com. More specifically, each manuscript should be
between
60 – 80
pages, with double spacing.
5) Anyone interested in submitting a
manuscript for submission should first
contact the publisher,
Dr. Sam Chekwas by e-mail with a short proposal of about
300 – 500 words at schekwas@aol.com
This proposal should be accompanied by a brief
resume which should be limited
to those facts which
would reinforce your candidacy as a Seaburn author. No
previous academic
experience or credentials, however, are necessary in order
to be given our full
consideration. We are looking for the best people,
regardless of
background. If the proposal is accepted then, upon its completion,
both an electronic (info@seaburn.com)
and disk version (33-18
Broadway,
Astoria, NY 11106) of your manuscript should be sent to the
publisher. Any
contractual and financial arrangements will be finalized between
the author and
publisher prior to publication.
