Aeon’s mission is to explore and communicate knowledge that helps us make sense of ourselves and the world. They ''ask the big, existentially significant questions and find the freshest, most original answers, provided by leading thinkers on philosophy, science, psychology, society and culture.'' They are on the hunt for essays pitches, and want pieces that explore the economics of everyday life, take a deep dive into one of the ‘hard’ sciences, illuminate the history of agriculture and husbandry, among other themes. Essays are generally 2,500-5,000 words. Pay rates are not mentioned. To learn more, refer to this page.
