Founded in 2016, PhilonoUS is the Undergraduate Philosophy Journal at the University of Sheffield, run by students for students. Once a year we publish a philosophy journal put together by students at the University of Sheffield; from the essays themselves, editing, publishing, customer service, web design and development, marketing and development. 

We currently have a hold up on edition 14 and 15 as we have been busy restructuring in order to bring you a better PhilonoUS!

Why are we called “PhilonoUS”?

If you don’t know how to pronounce it, you’re not alone! 

Is it… Fill-oh-no? File-OH-noo? File-eh-nuss? Fill-oh-nuss?

The name ‘PhilonoUS’ (pronounced ˈfɪlənəs) is a word-play on the character from George Berkeley’s text “Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous”, where the ‘US’ stands for ‘University of Sheffield’. It’s a bit of a silly name. But… now we’re kind of stuck with it. Thanks, founders!
