Essays
The section “Essays†gathers contributions that have previously been subjected to a double blind peer review process, unless the paper is invited (when this will so, it will be well notified to the readership). Papers cover a variety of philosophical fields.
Focus
The section “Focus†will be prepared by a Guest Editor on topics that the Editorial Board selects as being of interest. The Guest Editor will be in charge of inviting contributors and of screening the papers that reach us via a dedicated call for papers.
Past Present
The section “Past Present†intends to contribute to current philosophical debates with the publication of outstanding papers that either have never been published in English or are now difficult to find in libraries or on line. In which case, an expert in the field will introduce the papers and will explain their theoretical and historical significance.Copyright Notice
