Declining or Waning
- Traditional Metaphysical Discussions:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing on traditional metaphysical debates, as the journal shifts towards more pragmatic and socially relevant philosophical inquiries. - Purely Theoretical Political Philosophy:
The focus on abstract theoretical frameworks without direct application to contemporary issues has waned, as authors increasingly seek to relate their philosophical discussions to real-world implications. - Historical Philosophy without Contemporary Relevance:
Papers that discuss historical philosophical ideas without connecting them to current societal issues are less frequently published, indicating a trend towards relevance and applicability in philosophical discourse. - Overly Technical Analyses:
There seems to be a decline in highly technical or jargon-heavy analyses that do not engage broader audiences, as the journal aims to remain accessible and relevant to a wider readership. - Neglect of Non-Western Philosophical Traditions:
