Res Publica: Aims and Scope
Res Publica: a Journal of Moral, Legal and Social Philosophy is an interdisciplinary publication concerned with the philosophical analysis of moral, political, social and legal issues. It provides a forum for discussion of theoretical issues; a public arena for voicing matters of practical concern and a vehicle for the interconnected questions of morality, politics, law and society and the relation of theory to practice. The journal publishes articles and review essays which are both philosophically rigorous and accessible to a wide range of academics and professionals, and welcomes submissions in reply. Res Publica publishes the work of established scholars, as well as those at the beginning of their careers, in both Western and non-Western settings.
