There seems to be a decline in publications focusing on traditional metaphysical questions, such as the nature of reality and existence, suggesting a shift towards more practical and socially relevant philosophical inquiries. - Analytical Philosophy:
The journal has increasingly favored critical and continental approaches over analytical philosophy, which has historically been a significant theme. This shift indicates a move towards more interpretative and contextually grounded discussions. - Philosophy of Science:
