About this journal

Aims and scope

The JBSP publishes original scholarship in or related to the following areas of philosophy: Phenomenology and the phenomenological tradition of philosophy (including history of phenomenology, phenomenological practice, and disciplines related to phenomenology, e.g. 4-E approaches to cognition); Contemporary "continental" philosophy (including French epistemology, post-structuralism, critical theory); Contemporary philosophy (including New Materliasm(s), New Realism, social and political philosophy). Papers from researchers in the humanities and the human sciences interested in the philosophy of their subject will be welcome too.

In each annual volume we aim to publish one Special Issue covering themes of contemporary significance. Proposals for such issues should be submitted to the editor, around two years before planned publication. The person proposing the Special Issue will usually serve as Guest Editor for that issue.

Peer review statement

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor,
and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by two
independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized.
