The Review of Metaphysics is a peer reviewed academic journal of philosophy. It was founded by Paul Weiss and the first issue was published in September 1947. The journal's primary sponsor is and has been The Catholic University of America, but other major universities help sustain it.[1]
The journal publishes articles on metaphysics and on the history of philosophy. It also has a large book review section and lists the abstracts of other English-based philosophy journals. Once a year, it publishes statistics on the philosophy graduate programs in North America. The current editor is Jude P. Dougherty (School of Philosophy, The Catholic University of America).
Several prominent philosophers have published in the journal, including Martin Buber, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Willard Van Orman Quine, Richard Rorty, Steven B. Smith, Leo Strauss, T. K. Seung, Harvey C. Mansfield, Seth Benardete, Mario Bunge, and Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II).[2]
