Philosophy Now

Book and Periodical Publishing11-50 Employees

Philosophy Now is a news-stand magazine for everyone interested in ideas. It isn't afraid to tackle all the major questions of life, the universe and everything. Published every two months, it tries to corrupt innocent citizens by convincing them that philosophy can be exciting, worthwhile and comprehensible, and also to provide some enjoyable reading matter for those already ensnared by the muse, such as philosophy students and academics.

Philosophy Now contains articles and features on all aspects of philosophy, as well as book reviews, film reviews, news, cartoons, and the occasional short story. It attracts contributions by well-known thinkers, who over the years have included Mary Midgley, Daniel C. Dennett, Antony Flew, J.J.C. Smart, Richard Taylor, David Wong, Colin Wilson, Onora O'Neil and Slavoj Zizek. Regular columnists include Prof. Raymond Tallis ("Tallis in Wonderland") and Prof. Massimo Pigliucci ("Philosophy and Living").

Philosophy Now is produced jointly by a UK editorial board and a US editorial board. The editorial office is in London. Since its launch in 1991, Philosophy Now has grown to become the most widely-read philosophy periodical in the English language. It is sold from news-stands in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Ireland and about a dozen other countries.  Digital editions are published for Pocketmags, Nook and Zinio. There is a dedicated app for iOS phones and tablets.

Philosophy Now is independent of all groups and has no intentional editorial bias except for a passionate conviction that philosophy is a Good Thing.
