Aims & Scope

Kritike is the official open access (OA) journal of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Santo Tomas (UST), Manila, Philippines. It is a Filipino peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, and international journal of philosophy founded in 2007 by a group of UST alumni. The journal seeks to publish articles and book reviews by local and international authors across the whole range of philosophical topics, but with special emphasis on the following subject strands: Filipino Philosophy, Oriental Thought and East-West Comparative Philosophy, Continental European Philosophy, Anglo-American Philosophy. The journal primarily caters to works by professional philosophers and graduate students of philosophy, but welcomes contributions from other fields (literature, cultural studies, gender studies, political science, sociology, history, anthropology, economics, inter alia) with strong philosophical content. In addition to academic articles, the journal also features Metaporika Videos and Metaporika Podcasts. Through these channels alternative media from various fora are streamed. These alternative media feature various philosophical discourses beyond the bounds of the academic journal platform, which are not only instructive, but would also incite debate and dialogue as do traditional journal articles.
