Abbreviation : Radic. Philos.
Aims & Scope
Critical projects that seek to sustain themselves over a long stretch of time have to change if they are to avoid becoming part of an establishment.
And if they are prepared to change, they have to change more than once.
Radical Philosophy emerged out of the long 1960s, framed politically by the student movement and the New Left, and intellectually by a rebellion against what the first issue of the journal termed ‘the poverty of so much that now passes for philosophy’.
In the 1980s and 1990s, this was refashioned by a more profound engagement with feminism, ecology and the new social movements, as well as by an attempt to get to grips with both the changing forms of what was then called ‘continental philosophy’ and the consequences of the Thatcherite and Reaganite counter-revolutions.
From the early 2000s, when the first version of the radicalphilosophy.com website went live, the journal sought consistently to expand its geopolitical horizons, with contributions from Latin America, Africa and East Asia – albeit never enough – while publishing important articles that brought philosophical perspectives to a range of new disciplinary and cross-disciplinary areas from media theory, geography and film studies to architecture, literary and art theory.
Throughout this history, we have tried to remain true to our founding ambition to ‘free ourselves from the restricting institutions and orthodoxies of the academic world, and thereby to encourage important philosophical work to develop’.
