Philosophy (journal)

Philosophy is a peer-reviewed academic journal of philosophy published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. It was established in 1926. The journal publishes articles on a wide range of philosophical topics, including but not limited to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and the history of philosophy. It aims to present scholarly work that is accessible to a broad audience of philosophers and interested readers, rather than focusing solely on highly specialized or technical research.

The journal is published quarterly, in January, April, July, and October. It features original articles, discussions, and book reviews. Philosophy is indexed in major databases, including the Philosopher's Index, JSTOR, and Scopus.

The Royal Institute of Philosophy, which owns and oversees the journal, is a learned society dedicated to the promotion and advancement of the study of philosophy. The journal serves as one of the primary outlets for disseminating philosophical research supported by the Institute.

Manuscripts submitted to Philosophy are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer review process. This process involves evaluation by expert referees who are knowledgeable in the specific area of philosophy addressed by the submission. The journal's editorial board, comprised of leading philosophers, oversees the review process and makes decisions regarding publication. The current editors and their contact information can typically be found on the Cambridge University Press website, on the journal's official homepage.
