Experimental Thoughts: Experimental Thoughts 2026

Overview
Experimental Thoughts is a new electronic magazine dedicated to short stories that examine the connections between speculative fiction and philosophy. Edited by Carneades.org, the publication positions itself at the nexus of narrative and theoretical inquiry, seeking work that engages with philosophical concepts through the lens of the speculative. This call for submissions is for the 2026 issue, with a deadline of November 30, 2026. There is no submission fee. The magazine provides a platform for writers who are interested in exploring philosophical ideas through fiction. While the exact nature of the editorial vision is not detailed in the provided information, the affiliation with Carneades.org—a resource for philosophy—suggests a serious engagement with philosophical themes. The publication is online and remote, making it accessible to a global community of writers and readers. As a new venture, Experimental Thoughts offers an opportunity for writers to contribute to the shaping of a publication that bridges speculative fiction and philosophy. The absence of a prize or monetary compensation is noted, but the focus is on the intellectual and creative exchange. Writers are encouraged to submit stories that push the boundaries of both genres, creating work that is as thought-provoking as it is imaginative.
