Dianoia

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope Dianoia fosters open philosophical discussion and writing among undergraduate students. The journal is committed to providing the opportunity for intellectual reflection which bridges the academic disciplines in pursuit of holistic understanding. Open Access Policy This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. This journal does not charge article processing charges (APCs) or submission charges. Sponsors The Institute for Liberal Arts, The Boston College Philosophy Department, BC Libraries Journal History Dianoia: the Undergraduate Philosophy Journal of Boston College was founded in 2011 by three undergraduate philosophy students. 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 journal’s 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.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
