Journal of the History of Philosophy

Founded in 1962 by the renowned historian of philosophy Richard H. Popkin, the Journal of the History of Philosophy is recognized as the most important journal of its kind. Publishing innovative work across the breadth of the Western tradition, the Journal features expertly written peer-reviewed articles, notes, reviews, and discussions.

While committed to publishing work in all areas of the history of philosophy, the Journal especially welcomes submissions in medieval philosophy. Indeed, the Journal has long been an outlet for seminal work in this area. Publication in the Journal allows authors to reach not only specialists in medieval philosophy but also a more general audience that includes those who do not work primarily in this area but who find scholarship on medieval thought to be valuable.

Recent articles include:

• Catarina Dutilh Novaes, “An Intensional Interpretation of Ockham’s Theory of Supposition”
• Taneli Kukkonen, “No Man Is an Island: Nature and Neo-Platonic Ethics in Hayy Ibn Yaqz?n”
