Effective altruism is a growing social and intellectual movement at
the intersection of academia and the public domain. It seeks to use
insights from philosophy, economics, and related disciplines to
identify the best means to improve the world. The ethical
considerations that serve as a foundation for effective altruists
typically involve a sensitivity to the different kinds of impacts our
decisions about giving and spending can have, reflection on the values
we place on helping others and spending on ourselves, and willingness
to worry about the impacts of different kinds of career choices.

Essays in Philosophy invites the submission of papers that explore
some topic of relevance for the effective altruism movement. Possible
topics include, but are not limited to:

Cause selection and prioritization
The ethics of career choice
Effective altruism and existential risk
Effective animal activism
Systemic change vs. alternative paths to impact
Proven vs. speculative causes
The demandingness of effective altruism
The moral foundations of effective altruism

All submissions should be sent to the General Editor, Ramona Ilea via
