About the Journal

Principia: an international journal of epistemology was founded in 1997 and regularly publishes articles, discussions and book reviews. The journal aims at publishing original scholarly work on epistemology, broadly conceived including theory of knowledge, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of logic, metaphysics, and other related topics, with an emphasis on the analytic approach and on the Modern and Contemporary periods.

Originally published only in print version, in 2005 the journal began to be published also in online version. From 1999 to 2023 the journal published three issues a year. Since 2024, four issues are published per year: in March, June, September and December, only in online version.

Announcements

Submission moratorium by February 15

2026-11-10

Principia has started a submission moratorium period. This means that we are not accepting new submissions. This will continue until February 15.

During this time, the editorial team will be making changes to the journal's editorial structure. These changes will enable us to handle a larger number of submissions (for comparison, we received more submissions than we could handle this year, and the same happened last year). For more information about the planned changes, please refer to our editorial in Principia 30(3): https://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/115410/62617

Over the next few weeks, we will work on the submissions currently in our system.

Principia 30(4) will be released in December.
