About the Journal

Passion: Journal of the European Philosophical Society for the Study of Emotions is the bi-annual journal of the European Philosophical Society for the Study of Emotions (EPSSE). It aims to bring together thoughts and ideas about affect and emotion from all areas of philosophy, such as the metaphysics, phenomenology, sociology, ethics, politics, and (cognitive) science of emotion. Passion is not limited to representing one tradition of philosophical thought. We welcome papers from all philosophical traditions including (but not limited to) analytic, continental, experimental, feminist and non-Western philosophy. Although primarily philosophical, Passion will also publish high-quality interdisciplinary work on emotions and related topics. We also plan to regularly publish special issues on various emotion-related themes.

Passion provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. The journal does not charge Article Processing Charges (APC) nor submission charges. 

It is sponsored by the European Philosophical Society for the Study of Emotions. Its first issue was published in June 2023.
