Document Details : Title: Acknowledgments Subtitle: Informal Collaboration and Symbolic Power in Recent Analytic Philosophy Author(s): PETROVICH, Eugenio Journal: Logique et Analyse Volume: 256 Date: 2021 Pages: 425-448 DOI: 10.2143/LEA.256.0.3290352 Abstract : The acknowledgments of academic publications are a rich source of information about the social context of analytic philosophy, as they mention seminars, institutions, funders, and persons who contributed to the publications. In this sense, they allow to chart the socio-cognitive links within the analytic community. In this study, we present the results of a large-scale quantitative analysis of the acknowledgments appeared in 2073 articles published between 2005 and 2019 in five prestigious analytic philosophy journals. The results shed light on the network of informal collaboration that ties together analytic philosophers and on the distribution of symbolic capital in the analytic community, contributing to a better understanding of the sociology of recent analytic philosophy. |
