Hi, Seyyed:<br /><br />Thank you for your&nbsp;message. I'll focus on the positive first. The reviewer&nbsp;says that the paper has some "some interesting&nbsp;ideas", is "relatively well-written", and potentially 'publishable'. I doubt if he would suggest&nbsp;that you work on it further if there wasn't a strong chance of publication. After all, he has taken the time to make the recommendations.<br /><br />Many of the suggestions are just points of clarification. I caught one typo that I had missed (after 'focus' there is an unnecessary 'is'). Some other&nbsp;parts I couldn't find in my document, but most of the recommendations didn't seem to be critical, just small improvements. Publishing at your level, in any&nbsp;case, is a collaboration&nbsp;between either several authors or author(s), editor and publisher, and can bounce between&nbsp;them several times before final copy.<br /><br />I sense that the reviewer is saying that you are at the line-editing stage, where the author or editor goes over the paper line-by-line for clarification and typos. If this were a technical paper, we would be checking equations and numbers. With philosophy&nbsp;papers, it's probably more about the precision of language.&nbsp;As you know, some philosophers&nbsp;use ordinary words in a very specific way, and we have to too. I can help with that, but I'm not a Bergsonian expert, and I might do more harm than good. While I try to keep the author's original&nbsp;voice when I edit, I've certainly been guilty of over-editing before and have lost not only the author's voice but the intended meaning as well. As my wife says, it's not always about me.<br /><br />Anyway, practical&nbsp;suggestions: 1) email the reviewer&nbsp;and thank him or her for his or her suggestions, and assure him (her) that you are making the necessary changes to your paper. &nbsp;2) Line edit the paper carefully. 3) If you think I can help, send the edited paper to me, or even to another editor, for a final proofread with instructions to focus on philosophical clarity. Unfortunately, with papers intended for specialists my expertise carries me only so far, but I'll certainly do what I can.<br /><br />So, back to the good news: congratulations on getting&nbsp;this far! It really is positive feedback.<br /><br />Best wishes - George<br />&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
