Volume 6, number 2 of _Polymath: An Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Journal_

Dear Readers,

A new issue (volume 6, number 2) of _Polymath: An Interdisciplinary Arts and
Sciences Journal_ is now available on our web site. This issue begins with
an outstanding article by Andrew Corsa, “Kinesthetic Empathy, Dance, and
Technology,” that offers a tightly-argued case that technologically
mediated communication limits our empathy. Bringing together technology,
philosophy, and dance, Corsa’s work illustrates the deep
interdiscipinarity that is a specialty for _Polymath_.

This issue also contains papers from SIUE’s tenth annual Undergraduate
Philosophy Conference. Publishing the new scholars who present at this
conference has become a tradition for _Polymath_ and I hope you will read
all these innovative articles. And this issue wraps up with Aldemaro
Romero’s review of _The Gene: An Intimate History_ by Siddhartha
Mukherjee. Romero argues that the history of the gene is a worthy topic but
this book does not do it justice.

As always, thank you for reading _Polymath_ and supporting open access
publishing. Thanks also to the SIUE College of Arts and Sciences for their
continued support for _Polymath_.

Sincerely,
Jeff Manuel
Editor
