"[T]he
premier place for systematic philosophic essays in the
United
States."
—Robert
C. Neville, Boston University
The
Journal of Speculative Philosophy publishes systematic
and interpretive essays about basic philosophical questions. Scholars
examine the constructive interaction between Continental and American
philosophy, as well as novel developments in the ideas and theories
of past philosophers that have relevance for contemporary thinkers.
The journal also features discussions of art, religion, and literature
that are not strictly or narrowly philosophical. Book reviews
are included in each issue.
