Journal of Phi Sigma Tau

Dialogue is the official journal of Phi Sigma Tau, the International National Honor Society in Philosophy. It is the continuing goal of Dialogue to provide a vigorous and lively vehicle for the exchange of philosophical ideas among graduate and undergraduate students interested in philosophy. Dialogue accepts for publications articles, discussions, and reviews in all areas of contemporary philosophical research. It appears twice each academic year: a single issue in October, and a double issue in April. We will publish Volume 66 in the 2023-24 academic year. The journal is indexed in The Philosopher's Index and other academic indices, and is available to institutional subscribers by direct subscription or through most subscription agencies.
