Continental Philosophy Journals: Rankings, Open Access, and More

20/1/2025

 
​Continental philosophy encompasses a diverse range of traditions and approaches that originated in mainland Europe, including phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism, post-structuralism, and critical theory. These traditions often address questions about human existence, culture, politics, and society, offering rich and varied perspectives that challenge conventional philosophical frameworks. Journals dedicated to continental philosophy publish work that engages with these traditions, interprets key figures like Heidegger, Sartre, and Derrida, and explores their relevance to contemporary issues. The PJIP database covers several journals actively publishing papers in this area.

The PJIP directory can be filtered to show Continental Philosophy journals in each of these categories.
