The first issue of Dianoia , published in the spring of 2012, was by all standards a great success. However, after publishing two more issues in 2013 and 2014 the journalβs continuity was threatened by a two-year administrative hiatus. In the fall of 2016, a dedicated group of undergraduates, following in the footsteps of the original founders, committed to resurrecting the journal and recommenced publishing in the spring of 2017. Dianoia is proud of the strength of the BC Philosophy Department, and we believe the quality of the department is eminently clear in the papers.
