mind-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Mind article so the argument is maximally clear to a broad philosophical readership within the ~8,000-word limit. Mind asks that even technical material be accompanied by informal exposition. Tightens sentences and clarity; it does not generate the argument (see mind-thesis-and-argument).

When to use

• Drafting the introduction
• Doing a final clarity pass
• Adding informal exposition to technical material
• Cutting words without losing the argument
• Rewriting opening and transitions
• Testing manuscript against analytic-philosophy reviewer expectations

When not to use

• Generating the argument
• Generating claims
• Full conversion to MIND house style
