This issue of Argumenta marks two milestones in the life both of the journal and of the Italian Society for Analytic Philosophy (SIFA).

The first is the publication of the paper that won the second edition of the Lex Academic Prize, jointly sponsored by Lex Academic, SIFA, and Argumenta itself. The prize—intended to reward the best paper in the philosophy of action and ethics in the analytic tradition—has been awarded to Dr Levin Güver for his article “The Unity of Motive”, which deservedly launches this issue.

The second milestone is the presence of four critical notes of Andrea Bonomi’s article Non-Persistent Truths, published in the last issue as a Target Article. As mentioned in the last Editorial, target articles are selected by the Editorial Board from among the research articles accepted for publication, and are adopted as the focus for critical discussions. I would like to express my gratitude to Ernie Lepore, Carla Bagnoli and Clotilde Calabi for their invaluable work in producing this significant section of the current issue.

Then follows the Special Issue on The Phenomenological Turn in Analytic Philosophy of Mind, edited by Marco Facchin, Giacomo Zanotti, Giulia Piredda, and Michele Di Francesco. As the editors explain in their Introduction, traditionally intentionality and content were studied from a “third-person” point of view, with little regard to one’s introspective awareness of mental contents. With the passing of time, this approach has run into significant difficulties, which justifies the search for an alternative. The “phenomenological turn” qualifies as such an alternative, which means that content and intentionality are studied and approached introspectively, from the “first-person” perspective.

The number is then topped off by the section of Book Reviews. We are proud to offer readers three new thoughtful reviews of as many interesting books.

Finally, I would like to thank all the colleagues who have acted as external referees, the members of the Editorial Board, the Editors of the Special Issue, the Editors of the Book Reviews, and the Assistant Editors. All of them have been very generous with their work, advice, and suggestions.

As usual, the articles appearing in Argumenta are freely accessible and freely downloadable, therefore it only remains to wish you:

Buona lettura!
