Philosophical Topics publishes contributions to all areas of philosophy, each issue being devoted to the problems in one area. Recent issues have been concerned with individuation, introspection, and free will.
Philosophy Today publishes four times per year articles reflecting the trends and interests of contemporary philosophy. The contributors' views do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editors of Philosophy Today. Philosophy Today publishes articles in contemporary European philosophy, focussing on phenomenology and existentialism. Articles often consider the relationship between one thinker and another (e.g., Freud or Nietzsche) across interdisciplinary lines. Philosophy Today sometimes carries articles that consider the relationship between traditional philosophical themes and phenomenology and existentialism. Each issue contains six to eight articles which vary in length from 12 to 18 pages. Articles frequently deal with the thought of Kiekegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Ricoeur. Articles have extensive footnotes and Philosophy Today does not publish book reviews.
