Public Reason

Aims & Scope

Public Reasonis a peer-reviewed journal of political and moral philosophy that publishes articles, book reviews, as well as discussion notes from all the fields of political philosophy and ethics, including political theory, applied ethics, and legal philosophy. Texts from other areas of philosophy may be published, if they are relevant for issues in moral and political philosophy. The journal encourages the debate around rationality in politics and ethics in the larger context of the discussion concerning rationality as a philosophical problem. Public Reasonis committed to a pluralistic approach, promoting interdisciplinary and original perspectives as long as the ideals of critical thinking and clarity are respected. The journal is intended for the international philosophical community, as well as for a broader public interested in political and moral philosophy.
