Philosophical Papers is an international, generalist journal of philosophy edited in South Africa. Articles appearing in regular issues are original, high-quality, stand-alone articles, and are written for the general professional philosopher. Submissions are welcome in any area of philosophy and undergo
a process of peer review based on initial editor screening and refereeing by (usually) two reviewers.
Topic-based special issues include both invited and submitted papers selected by guest editors.
Calls for papers for upcoming special issues can be found on the journal’s website. Ideas for future
special issues are welcome.
The journal publishes book reviews that are especially relevant to the philosophical community in
South Africa. As an international journal edited in Africa, one of its interests, particularly in special
issues, is in promoting global philosophical engagement with, and relevant to, Africa.
