Philosophy of the Social Sciences (PSS)

Philosophy of the Social Sciences is an established peer‑reviewed academic journal that has served since 1971 as a key international forum for research and debate on the philosophical foundations of social science. It publishes original articles examining fundamental questions about social inquiry, including the nature of explanation, rationality, interpretation, methodology, individualism vs. holism, and the philosophical analysis of classical and contemporary theories. The journal is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, welcoming contributions from philosophers, sociologists, economists, anthropologists, psychologists, historians, and other social scientists who engage with philosophical questions related to theory and method. Each issue contains long research articles, critical essays, symposia, and review essays that explore both conceptual foundations and methodological challenges in understanding social phenomena. Philosophy of the Social Sciences maintains high editorial standards under SAGE Publications and is indexed in major academic databases. The journal’s published work continues to influence debates in both philosophy and social science methodology, making it an essential resource for researchers interested in theory, epistemology, and the conceptual underpinnings of social research.
