"Our sense of beauty was shaped by evolution to embody an awareness of what is difficult as opposed to easy, rare as opposed to common, costly as opposed to cheap, skillful as opposed to talentless, and fit as opposed to unfit."
— Geoffrey Miller, The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature

Submit:
Smart, sexy, hip-ish, creative pieces on the brain, psychology, philosophy, art, religion, spirituality, anthropology, evolutionary theory, evolutionary psychology, neurophilosophy, sociobiology, love, sex, culture, memetics, ad infinitum. We accept work that isn't sexy, sometimes, but it is always smart. (The reverse is not true, i.e., we don't accept sexy work that's not smart!) All ideas and proposals and thoughts and memes are welcome!

The love and power issue:

We're particularly looking for work concerned with both love and power, but will consider work which deals with each theme separately.

Submit your work as a Word document (preferred).

Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please no previously published work.

Notification (either way) in October, if not earlier.

Important formatting guidelines for prose:

Instead of tabs and indentations, keep all paragraphs flush-left with a space between them. (See this piece for an example.)

Instead of double-dashes and en-dashes, use — when appropriate — the em-dash. (Entelechy's style is to give the em-dash space on either side.)

The art should be related thematically to the issue of 'love and power' as well.

Alice Andrews | Editor/Publisher

Alice Andrews (with philosophy and psychology degrees from Columbia University) teaches psychology with an evolutionary lens at the State University of New York at New Paltz, where she is helping to implement an Evolutionary Studies program modeled on David Sloan Wilson's EvoS program at SUNY Binghamton. She is an editor and writer (books and magazines), and was the associate editor of Chronogram from 2000-2002. She is also the author of Trine Erotic, a novel that's been used in various college courses nationwide because of its exploration of evolutionary psychology. Alice is currently working on a book (based on her essay with the same title, published at Metanexus) called An Evolutionary Mind (to be published as part of Imprint Academic's series: "Societas: Essays in Political and Cultural Criticism"), and plans to begin writing another novel in the summer of 2006.
