Aims & Scope

BJHP publishes articles and reviews on the history of philosophy and related intellectual history from the ancient world to the early decades of the 20th Century. The journal is designed to foster understanding of the history of philosophy through studying the texts of past philosophers in the context - intellectual, political and social - in which the text was created.

Although focusing on the recognized classics, a feature of the journal is to give attention to less major figures and to disciplines other than philosophy which impinge on the history of philosophy including political theory, religion and the natural sciences in so far as they illuminate the history of philosophy. Articles cover the history of European philosophy.

Rated A in the European Reference Index in the Humanities (ERIH)
In 2007, BJHP was rated A (the highest category) in the European Reference Index in the Humanities (ERIH), a European Science Foundation project which aims to help impartially assess the quality of Humanities research output.

"The British Journal for the History of Philosophy has established itself in a few short years as one of the premier publications in the history of philosophy. In it you can count on finding essays that are informed, original, and up to the highest scholarly standards. It is as good as they come."
Daniel Garber, Princeton University

"The British Journal for the History of Philosophy takes the history of philosophy seriously, showing us why we likewise should take it seriously by showing us that issues of fundamental philosophical interest in the past are not confined to those that are the focus of current concerns. It keeps open the history of philosophy as a fruitful dimension of philosophical thinking, offering a non-parochial sense of philosophical perspective."
Stephen Gaukroger, University of Sydney
