About
Aims & Scope
Philosopher’s Compass is a quarterly journal dedicated to interdisciplinary philosophy. As a platform for peer-reviewed research, it aims to promote dialogue between philosophy and other disciplines and transcend gaps between philosophical traditions.
We value originality, rigor, and interdisciplinarity. To foster these values, we welcome research articles in philosophy as well as those that apply philosophical methods to other disciplines, such as design or technology.
Our contributors range from advanced undergraduate students to globally influential philosophers, reflecting our commitment to enriching academic philosophy with diverse and bold perspectives. Philosopher’s Compass publishes work under the following categories:
Aesthetics, African/Africana Philosophy, Asian Philosophy, Continental Philosophy, Epistemology, Ethics, History of Philosophy, Legal and Political Philosophy, Logic, Metaphilosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Gender, Race, and Sexuality, Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Law, Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Science and Technology, and Philosophy of the Americas.
