Open Access Journal: Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
ISSN: 1538 - 1617

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews began publication in January 2002.  It is entirely devoted to publishing substantive, high-quality book reviews (normal length: 1500-2500 words).  Reviews continually appear, usually five to twelve in the course of each week. 

Our goal is to review a good majority of the scholarly philosophy books issued each year and to have the review appear within six to twelve months of a book's publication. Reviews are commissioned and vetted by a distinguished international Editorial Board.  We do not accept unsolicited reviews or proposals to review. The journal is published only electronically (available free, through e-mail subscription, RSS feed, and on this website).
