《社會哲學(xué)雜志》尋求出版創(chuàng)造性的方法來處理當(dāng)代社會生活中實(shí)際和規(guī)范的問題，例如經(jīng)濟(jì)和其他形式的全球化、暴力政治沖突和世界范圍內(nèi)文化經(jīng)驗(yàn)的多樣性所引起的問題。它強(qiáng)調(diào)理解政治、法律、道德和文化問題的社會背景，并優(yōu)先發(fā)展新的理論框架，從社會本體論到關(guān)懷倫理，再到民主、人權(quán)和全球正義的世界性理論。《華爾街日報》的編輯過程是在線進(jìn)行的，不僅由審稿人，也由編輯對文章進(jìn)行盲審，目的是及時回應(yīng)投稿。《華爾街日報》有時也出版一些特別的專刊，集中討論一些重要的實(shí)際問題，因?yàn)樗钚牛ㄟ^有紀(jì)律的和創(chuàng)新的哲學(xué)分析，可以更好地理解這些問題。

The Journal of Social Philosophy seeks to publish creative approaches to practical and normative issues of contemporary social life, such as those arising from economic and other forms of globalization, violent political conflict, and the multiplicity of cultural experiences worldwide. It places new emphasis on understanding the social contexts for political, legal, moral, and cultural questions, and gives priority to the development of novel theoretical frameworks, from social ontology to care ethics to cosmopolitan theories of democracy, human rights, and global justice. The Journal's editorial process proceeds online, with blind review of articles not only by referees but also by the editor, and aims to deliver timely responses for submissions. The Journal also on occasion publishes special issues focusing on topics of vital practical concern, in the conviction that these can be better understood with the aid of disciplined and innovative philosophical analysis.
