Founded in response to a
motion passed by the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical
Association in December 1957 approving "the establishment
of a journal devoted to the history of philosophy," the Journal of
the History of Philosophy
is an internationally recognized quarterly that publishes peer-reviewed
articles, notes, discussions, and book reviews devoted to the history
of Western philosophy, broadly conceived.
Now in its forty-seventh year, the Journal is published by The Johns Hopkins University Press and is available online at Project Muse. "The Journal of the History of Philosophy is the oldest journal devoted to scholarship in English on all periods of the history of philosophy. It has been the venue for many seminal articles over the years, and its articles and extensive reviews remain indispensible reading for every student of the history of philosophy."
Paul
Guyer, University of Pennsylvania
"The Journal
of the History of
Philosophy has established itself as the leading American
journal in
the field; it is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest
in the history of philosophy."
Nicholas
Jolley, University of California, Irvine
