'Aporia' Undergraduate Journal

Aporia is the Philosophy Society's regular journal. "Aporia" stands for philosophical puzzlement, and Plato's dialogues are called "aporetic" since they often end with the interlocutor finding himself confused about the meaning of a concept that he had previously thought he knew. Good examples include piety (The Euthyphro) and courage (The Laches).

Since Feb 2007, Aporia has been published annually or bi-annually, and has contributed to our readers' "confusion on a higher level". The featured items are predominantly essays on broadly philosophical topics, and submissions are accepted from undergraduates and graduates who have not yet completed a year in postgraduate studies.

We are kindly hosted by St Andrews’ Online Journal Hosting Service (OJS). You can find all the latest information about Aporia on our website or Facebook page.

If you are interested in submitting your paper to Aporia, you can see our latest call for papers here.
