The period for paper submissions is open now until December 15, 2021 at midnight (EST).

Papers selected for publication in Noēsis will demonstrate exceptional undergraduate scholarship in both their precision and originality. We welcome submissions in all areas of philosophy. Insightful exegetical works and cross-disciplinary papers are welcome so long as the philosophical content included in the paper is substantial.

  • Submission is under 5, 000 words long.
  • Submission is a docx file (Not PDF).
