When journalists approach me, I don’t hesitate to share my view. In two Croatian dailies, I’ve commented on post-truth and the continuing relevance of Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene, respectively: www.glas-slavonije.hr/magazin/2025...

On this list, the European Journal of Analytic Philosophy is currently ranked 11th. With a little more promotion, I think we could reach the top ten next year! eujap.uniri.hr
