PAIDEUSIS-THE JOURNAL OF THE CANADIAN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY

Aims & Scope

Philosophical Inquiry in Education (PIE) is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the unique and distinctive contributions that philosophical thinking can make to educational policy, research, and practice. Global in outlook and multidisciplinary in its approach, the journal publishes articles representing the spectrum of intellectual traditions defining contemporary philosophy of education. This includes, but is not limited to, inquiries informed by ethics, epistemology, political theory, phenomenology, aesthetics, hermeneutics, critical theory, post-critical theory, new materialism, and poststructuralist thought, as well as traditions rooted in the educational humanities. PIE invites submissions that help deepen and expand our ways of thinking about education broadly conceived. The journal aims to build a community of scholars from a range of disciplines, bridging philosophy and the theoretical humanities with adjacent fields in education such as curriculum studies, history education, and critical theory. PIE embraces a broad conception of research, welcoming empirical studies that are substantively grounded in philosophical questions and analysis. The journal seeks to illuminate what is unique about educational thinking and its contribution to educational research, while offering a platform for critical and creative thought on pressing issues in education. We aim to open new lines of inquiry in educational thought and to address urgent themes such as the Anthropocene, the evolving dynamics of capitalism in flux, the implications of novel technologies like online life, artificial intelligence, and the pursuit of inclusivity and justice in education. While the journal emphasizes rigorous theoretical and conceptual investigation, we welcome submissions that integrate empirical methods, whether qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods, provided they are judged by the editors to substantively contribute to ongoing debates in philosophy of education and educational thinking. By engaging with these topical and pressing global issues, PIE aspires to push the boundaries of educational thinking and inquiry and to foster meaningful dialogue across the field of education.
