Editorial Policy
Educational Philosophy and Theory is an international, blind refereed journal that publishes articles concerned with all aspects of educational philosophy. The journal will also consider manuscripts from other areas of pure or applied educational research. In this latter category the journal has published manuscripts concerned with curriculum theory, educational administration, the politics of education, educational history, educational policy, and higher education. As part of the journal's commitment to extending the dialogues of educational philosophy to the profession and education's several disciplines, it encourages the submission of manuscripts from collateral areas of study in education, the arts, and sciences, as well as from professional educators. Nevertheless, manuscripts must be germane to the ongoing conversations and dialogues of educational philosophy.

Papers should be approximately 6,000 words, including references. The Editor's decision is final.

Manuscript Information
Articles should be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the author-date system with endnotes and references. The references should be listed in full, including pages, at the end of the paper in the following standard form:

For books: Beck, U. (1992) Risk Society (London, Sage).

For articles: Papastaphanou, M. (2002a) Linguistic Archipelago, Metaphilosophy, 33:4.

For chapters within books: Coffield, F. (1997) Nine Learning Facilities, in: F. Coffield (ed.) A National Strategy for Lifelong Learning (Newcastle, Department of Education).

All articles should feature an abstract (no longer than 120 words), and up to six keywords. Authors should include a brief biographical note.
