Aimes and scope. The Editors of the journal invite scholarly studies in history of philosophy and papers reporting the on-going debates in contemporary philosophy, representing various currents in philosophical inquiry, including continental, analytic and non-western traditions and comparative perspectives. Moreover, in the scope of our interest there are interdisciplinary papers undertaking philosophical problems in terms of other scientific disciplines.

History. The Journal emerged in 2010 when the present Editorial Board and the Advisory Board have been established. The first issue was published in June 2011. The Editors referred to the former philosophical journal Studia Philosophica, also published by the Department of Philosophy and Sociology, Pedagogical University of Cracow, within a series called Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. However, since 2010 the conception of the Journal has been essentially redefined and its structure reshaped. We decided to change the previous title to Argument: Biannual Philosophical Journal, while separating it from the University annual series and converting to a biannual peer reviewed online periodical.
