Guidelines

Anamnesis is a student-run journal publishing undergraduate essays in philosophy. Students across all disciplines are encouraged to submit, so long as their essays grapple with philosophical issues. Anamnesis seeks to give undergraduates the opportunity to share academic writing with a larger readership and to engage readers in meaningful conversation through philosophically grounded papers. In contrast to highly specialized graduate-level philosophy journals, we hope to publish accessible yet rigorous contributions to the discipline. 

  • Format: 12 point Times New Roman font, 4000 word maximum for the paper. There is no minimum word count. Papers should not include your name or other identifying information. Please provide your paper title, name, email, and major in a separate attachment.

  • Citation Format: Either MLA or Chicago citation style is acceptable.

  • Originality: Only original work will be accepted. Do not submit already published material. If you plan on submitting your paper to publications other than Anamnesis, keep us informed about its publication status.
