Hi Bahran:<br /><br />Thanks for the message. I'm glad you're staying in touch. I often wonder what happens to the papers I help with - even if they get a C-. LOL<br /><br />Don't be too discouraged about your first rejection. I've had many promising submissions turned down. Part of the problem, of course, with publishing a professional paper is that the editors inevitably look for credentials, which translates as a PhD. My own experience may not be a particularly useful guide, but my first publication was followed by three rejections, and I was really discouraged. Then I tackled a book review and seemed to get in that way via the back door. Once I had established a connection with the editor and had a publishing history (two submissions), I had much better success. The chances are that your PhD dissertation will yield three or four papers, but in the meantime I would not exclude more modest publications such as book reviews and even letters to the editor including those not just to professional journals but to reputable newspapers. There is far too little philosophical perspective on the opinion pages of the major newspapers in the West, which is why our politicians can make such parlous ethical decisions.&nbsp;<br /><br />Anyway, enough of my ramblings. I'll certainly look over your abstract and see how I can help. It might take a day or two but I'll be in touch.<br /><br />Best wishes - George
