Selected Philosophers in the JHP
For
most of the period after the founding of
the Journal of the History of
Philosophy, its articles (and its
submissions) were dominated by papers on a
small coterie of philosophers — Plato,
Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Hume, and
Kant. In more recent years, the Journal has
sought to publish on lesser-studied and
non-canonical philosophers. Some of these
recent offerings include:

the Logic of Freedom as Independence.”
