Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews is an online journal devoted to timely critical reviews of new books in philosophy. Founded in 1999, it operates from the United States and has become a prominent venue linking contemporary debates in analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, political philosophy, and history of philosophy. Editors and contributors have included scholars associated with institutions such as University of Notre Dame, University of Oxford, Harvard University, Princeton University, Yale University, University of Cambridge, University of Chicago, and New York University.
The journal was established in 1999 by faculty at University of Notre Dame to provide rapid, open-access reviews of philosophical monographs and edited volumes during a period that saw parallel developments at Project Muse, JSTOR, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and other scholarly publishers. Early supporters and contributors included scholars with links to Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, University of California, Berkeley, and Duke University. Over time the publication broadened its reach to reviewers affiliated with King's College London, University College London, Australian National University, University of Toronto, McGill University, and research centers such as the Institute for Advanced Study and the Russell Sage Foundation. Its development intersected with debates at events like the American Philosophical Association meetings and anniversaries of figures such as Immanuel Kant, David Hume, Plato, Aristotle, and G. W. F. Hegel.
The stated mission emphasizes timely, authoritative reviews aiming to inform scholars working on problems associated with figures and traditions including Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, W. V. O. Quine, Saul Kripke, G. E. Moore, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Aquinas, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, and Judith Butler. The scope covers monographs and edited collections from publishers such as Routledge, Springer, Palgrave Macmillan, Bloomsbury, Blackwell, Oxford University Press, and Cambridge University Press, and thematic intersections with conferences like Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy, Eastern Division APA, and Central Division APA.
Editorial leadership has included editors and advisory board members drawn from departments at University of Notre Dame, Rice University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Michigan, University of Notre Dame Law School, Georgetown University, and Boston University. The staff typically comprises an editor-in-chief, managing editors, regional editors, and a broad network of volunteer reviewers affiliated with programs at Princeton Theological Seminary, Templeton Foundation-funded projects, and humanities centers at institutions such as Colgate University and University of Virginia. Advisory boards have featured scholars associated with awards like the Buchanan Prize, Templeton Prize, John Dewey Prize, and fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The review process solicits reviewers with expertise relevant to works on topics connected to thinkers including Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Karl Marx, John Rawls, Robert Nozick, Hannah Arendt, Charles Taylor, Alasdair MacIntyre, Martha Nussbaum, Jürgen Habermas, and Slavoj Žižek. Policies emphasize timely publication, transparency about conflicts of interest, and editorial independence from commercial publishers such as Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, and SAGE Publications. Peer-review standards and ethical guidelines reference norms practiced at institutions including American Philosophical Association, Modern Language Association, and funding agencies such as the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
