The Public Philosophy Journal (PPJ) seeks to do philosophy with the public by creating an inclusive space in which community voices are recognized, heard, and supported as vital to the practices of public philosophy. We publish work that has undergone Formative Peer Review–our innovative review process designed to foster collegiality and collaboration.
Everything we do at the PPJ reflects our 4 core values: Transparency, Thick Collegiality, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, and Ethical Imagination.
To learn more about how to submit to the Public Philosophy Journal, please visit our Submission Guidelines page, familiarize yourself with our Formative Peer Review process, and of course email us with any questions you may have!
The PPJ invites submissions that have a clear relationship with the public. We offer a publication space for folks whose work is embedded in and created for specific communities beyond academic institutions. We are especially interested in work that reflects on current issues. All submissions should be accessible, relevant, intellectually coherent, and in dialogue with existing scholarship.
