Process of Reviewing:
The papers were blind-reviewed, meaning that authors were asked to eliminate all identificatory information and the reviewers did not have any information about the author when reading the papers. When reviewing a paper submitted by the member of the editorial board, we ensured that that particular paper was reviewed by other members of the editorial board.

Finally, we would like to thank the authors for their excellent papers, the Prometheus reviewers for reviewing the submissions, and Austin who guided us through the publication process. In addition, this wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the philosophy departments who shared the call for papers for Prometheus. Thank you all for those who helped Prometheus, and we hope you enjoy the journal!
