About PHILOSOPHIA
Philosophia: International Journal of Philosophy (PIJP) is published by the Philippine National Philosophical Research Society (PNPRS). It is published every January and May of each year.
Φιλοσοφια (Philosophia means “Love of Wisdom”) publishes articles that present all types of philosophical points of view. It is open to all branches of philosophy and all types of philosophical idiosyncrasies for as long as the arguments are rationally and logically presented. Thesis-oriented discursive papers are preferred. Basically expository writings of a philosopher’s ideas should show—rather than simply assuming it impliedly—the significance of the exposition.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all quotations and for providing complete references. An abstract of not more than two hundred words, summarizing the thesis or intent of the article, should be appended along with the brief curriculum vitae of the author. For multiple submissions, only one paper will be published every year. The medium of expression of the journal is English—American or British. Only the letters of the British-American alphabet, including the Spanish-Filipino will be accepted in the document text.
Authors of published articles in this journal are entitled to receive a copy of their respective published papers. They are, however, enjoined to become members of the Philippine National Philosophical Research Society (PNPRS) during the year their articles appear in the journal.
Philosophia is published both in print and online (open access).
