By arrangement with the Johns Hopkins Press, the JHP publishes approximately forty reviews annually. Publishers should send hard copies of books for review to:

Giorgio Pini
Fordham University
Philosophy Department
113 W 60th Street
New York, NY 10023
USA

We also encourage publishers, and readers, to bring new books to the attention of the Book Review Editor, Giorgo Pini, pini@fordham.edu.

Most JHP readers are professional historians of philosophy, or their students, so original language scholarship making detailed use of primary philosophical texts, focusing on interpretation or argumentation, is preferred. The Journal does not review previously published material or translations of works available in modern European languages. Works of peripheral interest to historians of philosophy—in history of ideas, biography, political theory, the arts, or history—cannot be accommodated within the limited space available for reviews. Only very rarely are dictionaries, guides, or companions reviewed. 

The policy of the Board of Directors is to commission impartial reviewers. We do not accept unsolicited reviews. Every effort is made to avoid actual and perceived conflicts of interest. When conflicts are unavoidable, they are disclosed. 

Reviews must be original work, neither having appeared, nor scheduled to appear or be presented, elsewhere. All reviews will be commissioned within three months of receipt of the book. Ideally, reviews provide an expert evaluation of the philosophical significance of a monograph or edited collection, and should be informative for readers who want to know whether they should be consulting this book themselves, or acquiring it for their college or university libraries.

Academics and independent scholars with a PhD or equivalent who would like to be considered as reviewers for the JHP are welcome to send their CVs to the Book Review Editor.
