The first issue of Kantian Review was published in March 1998. The journal is published by the University of Wales Press in association with the UK Kant Society and with the support of the North American Kant Society.
'An absolutely first rate new journal, well on its way toward being on a par with Kant-Studien. Essential for every university library as well as the libraries of all those working on Kantian themes.' Roger Sullivan, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, University of South Carolina
‘Since it was founded the Kantian Review has brought together excellent and engaging work on Kant's philosophy with lively work on wider Kantian themes – the range is wide, and both the scholarly and the philosophical standards are consistently high.’ Onora O'Neill, Principal of Newnham College, Cambridge and President of the British Academy
Kantian Review On Line
The journal aims to publish the best contemporary work on Kant and Kantian issues and places an emphasis on those current philosophical debates which reflect a Kantian influence. Almost all recent Western philosophy makes some reference to the work of Kant, either consciously rejecting or consciously endorsing some aspect of that work. In epistemology, in philosophy of mind and language, in moral and political philosophy, and in aesthetics, such Kantian influences are widely acknowledged and extensively discussed. Kant's work has also increasingly become a concern for the social and political sciences. The journal strengthens this interest both by establishing interpretations of Kant's own writing and by discussing the substance of the related current philosophical debates.
The journal will publish full length articles, discussion notes, and reviews of the many books published with a Kantian background. The journal will build on the strong links which have been made between the UK Kant Society and the North American Kant Society and the principal writers on Kant in the USA and Europe.

Contributors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that the work has not been published previously and, should the editors accept it for publication, that (a) the authors obtain the necessary permission to use material already protected by copyright; and (b) copyright in articles published in Kantian Review will be assigned to the journal.
The right to reproduce the contribution photographically is granted to the author(s), provided that copies made are not offered for sale. The right to reprint in a different publication is granted to the author provided that the reprinted contribution (a) does not appear within 12 months of its initial appearance in Kantian Review, and (b) acknowledges Kantian Review as the place of first publication.
Contributors will be expected to check and return the page-proofs of their articles within 14 days of receipt. This will usually be in October of each year.
Preparation of typescripts and disks
Articles submitted should be typed using double spacing on one side of A4 paper with wide margins, unjustified on the right. Pages should be numbered throughout consecutively. Once a paper has been accepted for publication the contributor will be asked if possible to provide an electronic version of the contribution on 3.5"disks, IBM PC compatible, along with a hard copy/printout of the full up-to-date text. Contributors should retain a backup copy of both disk and printout. The software used for preparation of the disk should be clearly marked on the disk; applications compatible with Word or WordPerfect in MS DOS format are preferred, or an ASCII file (please consult the Editors or the University of Wales Press about preparation of disks if in doubt).
Notes and references should also be supplied in double-spacing and separately from the text, at the end of the article, and notes should be numbered consecutively.
Tables and diagrams should be provided on a separate page in the typescript and their eventual position indicated by a marginal note on the hard copy. Any complicated diagrams should as far as possible be submitted in camera-ready form. References in the text to illustrative material should take the form 'Table 1' for tables and 'Figure 1' for other forms of illustration.
The spelling and punctuation of the journal will be standardized during copy-editing by the University of Wales Press to British English conventions as follows:
-ize endings when given as an alternative to -ise, but 'analyse' retains 's'.
labour, honour, judgement (unless referring to a legal judgment), sceptical, defence, orientated (not oriented for figurative sense)
the full form of verbs, e.g. I cannot (not I can't), we do not (not we don't) etc.
quotations within running text should be in single quote marks (double for quotes within quotes). Punctuation at the end of a quotation should fall outside the closing quote mark unless a complete sentence has been quoted, e.g. his contempt 'for the masses'.
but,
He stated: 'Kant makes this point clearly.'
Other style points to note:
longer quotations of more than 50 words should be displayed, that is, indented and separated from the text with a line space before and after, and with no quote marks before or after.
dates should be expressed as 1 January 1998; the 1890s; the nineteenth century (but a sixteenth-century manuscript, a twentieth-century concept); 1888-9; 1914-18 (not 1914-8). Numbers up to ninety-nine should be spelt out in full except in a list of statistics or in percentages (25 per cent).
capitalization should be kept to a minimum in the text; for titles, initial capitals should only be used when attached to a personal name (e.g. President Lincoln).
Contributors may either (a) use endnotes to give references for the text, or (b) use the author-date system with a list of works cited at the end of the article under the heading 'References'. The journal style does not cater for footnotes.
(a) Within endnotes, the works cited should be in the following form:
Books: Jean Grimshaw, Philosophy and Feminist Thinking (Minneapolis: Minnesota University Press, 1986), pp. 320-3.
Articles in an edited volume: Jean Hampton, 'A new theory of retribution', in S. Frey and G. Morris (eds.), Liability and Responsibility (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1991), pp. 7-26.
(Note the use of lower case for initial letters except the first and proper names in all article titles.)
Articles in a journal: J. G. Murphy, 'Does Kant have a theory of punishment?', Columbia Law Review, 87 (1987), 407-13.
For authorities and locations to which continual reference is made: An abbreviated form can be established in a list of abbreviations at the start of the notes.
On the second or subsequent occurrences of a reference, the term 'ibid.' may be used for the same reference falling in the immediately succeeding note. Otherwise a short form of the title should be used (e.g. Hampton, 'A new theory', p. 23).
(b) For the author-date system ('Harvard system'), the following style should be used:
In text: (Allison 1983: 201)
In Allison (1983: 201)
In reference section at the end of the article:
