Focus and Scope

Prolegomena is an online philosophy journal for undergraduate students published at the University of British Columbia. The first issue was published in June 2000. Papers selected cover a wide range of philosophical topics; reflected in the name. The Oxford English Dictionary defines prolegomenon as a preliminary discourse prefixed to a literary work; esp. a learned preface or preambleis. The editors hope that papers submitted to Prolegomena will each serve as preface to a future in philosophical thought.
