Over the years, the APQ has established itself as one of the principal English vehicles for the publication of scholarly work in philosophy. The whole of each issue—printed in a large page, double-column format— is devoted to articles; there are no discussion pieces, book reviews, or critical notices. The editorial policy is to publish substantial work of high quality, regardless of the school of thought from which it derives. The Journal is published four times a year, in January, April, July, and October.

The University of Illinois Press is one of the leading publishers of humanities and social sciences journals in the country. Founded in 1918, the Press publishes more than 40 journals representing 18 societies, along with more than 100 new books annually. Our publication program covers a wide range of disciplines including psychology, philosophy, Black studies, women's studies, cultural studies, music, immigration, and more. Current issues are available through the Scholarly Publishing Collective. The Press is a founding member of the Association of University Presses.
