PGR Surveys End in 2 Hours and 30 Minutes!

Over 250 philosophers have now participated in the ‘overall’ and specialty evaluations, and at least another two dozen in just the specialty evaluations.  All the specialty areas noted in prior posts that had had low response rates have had significant increments in the total number of evaluators over the last couple of days, for which my special thanks.   In corresponding with evaluators, I am always impressed by the care and seriousness with which they take this task.

Thanks again to all the philosophers who have lent their time and expertise to this round of evaluations.
