cheerful message from the Philosophy in Review team, accompanied by a cute hedgehog illustration. The message wishes readers and contributors a restful, safe, and joyful end to the year with family and friends. It mentions that after publishing their final issue of volume 44, the team will take a break and return to work on January 13, 2025. The hedgehog illustration relates to Schopenhauer's analogy of hedgehogs needing space to warm up.

We think the hedgehogs are on to something... #PhilosophyinReview will be OOO from Dec 13 to Jan 13, 2025. Exciting changes to the journal in the new year! 🎉
