Philosophical Papers is an international, generalist journal of philosophy edited in South Africa.

Articles appearing in the March and July issues are original, high-quality, and stand-alone, and are written for the general professional philosopher. The editor welcomes submissions in any area of philosophy.

The November issue of each year is a dedicated, topic-based issue, guest-edited and comprised of both invited and submitted papers. Calls for papers for upcoming special issues can be found here. The editor welcomes ideas for future special issues.

Re-Readings
Philosophical Papers is the only philosophical journal with a regular re-readings feature, in which authors write on an older article, book, or book chapter that they deem to deserve renewed attention. Re-Readings are usually of 4000-7000 words in length. The editor welcomes submissions of re-readings.
Book Reviews
Philosophical Papers publishes reviews of books that are of special relevance to African or South African philosophy or philosophers. Authors interested in reviewing books for the journal should approach the editor in the first instance.
Peer Review Policy
All submitted articles undergo a process of peer review. This is based on initial editor screening and refereeing by (usually) two referees.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of original articles Philosophical Papers welcomes submissions of original articles in any area of philosophy. Articles should be written in such a way as to be accessible and interesting to the general professional philosopher. The journal will only in rare instances publish short papers, discussion notes, or critical replies to papers published elsewhere.
Manuscripts should be double- or 1.5-spaced with suitably wide margins. Notes and references should appear at the end of the paper. Articles prepared for blind review will be blind reviewed.
Contributors are asked to submit their papers by electronic mail attachment, sent to philosophical.papers@ru.ac.za . Papers should be saved as a PDF, Word (97-2003), or RTF document.
In the body of their submission email, authors should include the following:
-Their full names and affiliations
-Email address for correspondence
-An abstract of no more than 150 words
-A statement to the effect that the paper has not been submitted elsewhere
We aim to give authors a response within three months.
Submission of critical notices Philosophical Papers welcomes critical notices of recent philosophical works. Unless invited, critical notices are treated as original articles. We prefer critical notices to be less than 5,000 words in length.
Special issues Special topic-based issues of Philosophical Papers will appear no more than once a year. These are normally guest edited, and include a combination of invited and submitted papers. We welcome suggested topics for future special issues.
