Ancient Philosophy Today :

About this Journal

Ancient Philosophy Today provides a forum for top-quality work in ancient philosophy, which engages with issues in contemporary philosophy. The journal's guiding thought is that ancient theories are not generally 'obsolete' or irrelevant to current philosophical interests and debates. Instead of being primarily approached in a philological fashion, they should be taken seriously as philosophical texts, which can be assessed for their philosophical merits as well as more modern texts can be. The journal will pursue its goal by publishing original research articles of the highest quality, and by promoting discussion of cutting edge research already in press by commissioning book reviews as well as systematic ‘state of the art’ overview articles on key ongoing discussions.

Ancient Philosophy Today contributes both toward highlighting the continuing systematic importance of ancient philosophy and to giving the field a greater sense of identity and direction. Articles and reviews are published in English, and articles are fully peer reviewed. The journal fits mostly within the subject of Philosophy, but is also very relevant to Classics.
