Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy

Co-edited by Michael Sawyer and John E.

Drabinski, the Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy is a twice-yearly publication dedicated to theoretical issues and traditions in the Francophone world. The Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy publishes essays on philosophy and related theoretical endeavors in both French and English. We are committed to thinking broadly about philosophical inquiry in terms of the geography and

historical period of the French language, and we welcome work engaged with the Francophone intellectual world in an interdisciplinary context. To this end, the journal is interested in publishing essays on prominent as well as lesser-known figures in French and Francophone philosophy.
